I downloaded Lazarus from its release page on Github and after installing it didn’t work, saying it needed extra binaries that it couldn’t find. Now I have to see what it’s talking about, what to install, etc. Kind of a hassle.

fpcupdeluxe will automate the process of installing a working Lazarus/FPC environment. You can just click through, as the defaults are fine.

You will need to install Free Pascal (fpc) separately

Which Github page do you mean? I wasn't aware they'd started putting properly packaged binary releases on Github.
