I have not used MacOS for a long time. Thus, my knowledge could be rusted. 

Most of your questions can be answered by understanding MacOS, less with GNAT. GPS will be available once GNAT is installed. But, you need to tell the OS where to look for. Thus, a shell script needs to be created. Below is the content of my shell script (Bourne shell), gnat-2017.bash, for my Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

  PATH=/home/voax/GNAT/gnat-gpl-2017/bin:$PATH
  export PATH

For your case, it should be similar as

  PATH="/usr/local/gnat2017/bin:$PATH"
  export PATH

The last step is to invoke it assuming that it is located at /home/adampour and its name is adampour-gnat-2017.bash

  ~adampour/adampour-gnat-2017.bash

You are ready to enter your command, gps &, from anywhere. 

I hope it helps.
