Install GCC on Mac OS high sierra

I've already visited the following answer but my question is different.

Install GNU GCC on mac

Mac OS ships with Clang and somehow /usr/bin/gcc is linked to Clang tool I assume because of this line.

gcc

clang: error: no input files

Any idea on how can I install https://gcc.gnu.org/ standalone on my system?

gcc --version

Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.13.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.38)

Target: x86_64-apple-darwin17.2.0

Thread model: posix

InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

Generally speaking: Don't. That isn't a standard configuration; Clang is the recommended compiler for current macOS systems.

If you have a very good reason, you can use Homebrew to install GCC (brew install gcc). Keep in mind that it cannot be used to build native macOS applications.
