How to install MySQL GUI Tools in 12.04+ versions?

I want to install the MySQL GUI Tools in 12.04 and future version because frankly the way workbench works is not even close to how friendly the GUI tools were, specially for simple stuff like doing a quick SELECT of something or selecting a table. I like using MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser. The way they work is much more intuitive than Workbench. How can I install them in 12.04 and newer versions?

MYSQL Announcement the EOL for the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle (Administrator, Query Browser, Migration Toolkit), please use MySQL Workbench has replaced the GUI Tools Bundle instead, and you can't download from the MYSQL web page but I found another page where you can find it:
