It has been a few years since I used Ubuntu. If I recall correctly, I think you can just use
sudo apt install gcc and that will install gcc, g++, and gfortran. My Linux knowledge is limited. I never figured out how to install a specific version of GCC on Ubuntu so I think you just get what you get. However, what I liked about Ubuntu was that it seemed to be aggressive about installing more up-to-date versions of GCC than some other Linux distributions, so if it's an option, you might get a newer version of GCC by updating your Ubuntu kernel and then the above apt command again. I think the latest version is Ubuntu 24. FWIW, I mostly used the Lubuntu lightweight Ubuntu distribution. If you really need GCC 14 and the above advice doesn't help, you might try running the OpenCoarrays installer script to build whatever version you want from source: git clone https://github.com/sourceryinstitute/opencoarrays cd opencoarrays ./install.sh --package gcc --install-version 14 --install-prefix <installation-path> --num-threads 4 or run ./install.sh. --help for additional options or shorter versions of the above options. I hope this is all helpful.
