Do I need OCaml installed to use this, why not a single binary?

Melange approaches the problem from the OCaml perspective. It inserts itself within the OCaml community, so you need the OCaml Platform[1] tooling to install and use it.

This way, you get all the benefits of having a native toolchain and build system, and a great integration with modern JavaScript with e.g. npm or yarn.
