Goggling these is giving me hard so I thought I ask here. What is the correct way to install Ada on Linux these days? I am on Linux mint 17. 1) Should one install GNAT on Linux by downloading tar files from http://libre.adacore.com (GPL 2014 edition) or use sudo apt-get install gnat-4.8 2) Will the sudo installation install all the stuff listed at libre.adacore.com? including GPS editor and all the other packages? 3) Which is more recent, gnat-4.8 or GPL 2014 edition? 4) When I go to http://libre.adacore.com/download/configurations is there a way to tell it to check everything for download, without one having to spend 1 hr clicking on the check-box for each item? I do not see "select all" It is really confusing having Ada/GNAT in 2 different places. Why not have one place to install Ada from so it is less confusing to users? --Nasser
