Does anybody know how to install Free Pascal?

The "add/remove applications" tool conveniently installs Lazarus, but Free Pascal is not listed. Would appreciate help. Thanks!

You can use command line to install it.
sudo apt-get install fpc

Free Pascal is a dependence of Lazarus. That means it is required for Lazarus to work and is installed along with it. You have nothing to do but to install Lazarus.
If you want a finer control on the packages installed on your system, you can indeed learn to use commands such as 'apt-get'. However you can also use the "Synaptic Package Manager" (in the "System Settings"), an excellent graphical user interface to those commands.
