The PPA we want in this case is from the GCC ARM Embedded Maintainer’s team.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-gcc-arm-embedded/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-embedded
sudo yum install arm-none-eabi-gcc-cs
sudo yum install arm-none-eabi-binutils-cs
sudo yum install arm-none-eabi-newlib
brew tap ArmMbed/homebrew-formulae
brew install arm-none-eabi-gcc
If it installs correctly, doing autocomplete in the terminal like so:
arm-none (press tab twice)

Stlink package is the software for the ST-Link programmer that works with many ST boards. On the discovery boards, the programmer is embedded at the top. You just need to make sure you plug in your mini-USB cable into the center-most port that is labeled ST-Link.
Stlink installation requires cmake, so if you don't have one:
sudo apt-get install cmake
brew install cmake
Then clone the repository st-link.
git clone https://github.com/texane/stlink.git
Every thing can be built from the top of directory.
cd stlink
make
cd build/Release

sudo cp libstlink.so.1 /usr/lib/
In Fedora, st-link software can be installed from repository:
sudo yum install stlink
