All these questions are generally handled by your operating system
vendor who most likely provides all that you need already.

However, in general, the GNU Compiler Collection is available freely
in source code form and you are perfectly fine to download it and to
then compile it from source.  This is non-trivial for most people. It
is non-trivial even for people who have done this before.

All of the usual BLAS functions are available however they are separate
and not provided within the GNU Compiler Collection.

As Dennis mentioned, you would usually install packages provided by
your OS vendor, especially if you're using a linux distribution.

As for chatting about it, there is https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GCConIRC
but you might be best off finding a forum specific to your OS or
distribution, where they will know about the best way to install
gfortran for your OS.
