"These Build Tools allow you to build Visual Studio projects from a command-line interface."

Does that mean

        this is Visual Studio without the "Visual", i.e. it's all the command-line tools, but without the IDE

or

        if you just install Visual Studio, you don't get the command-line tools - you also have to install this?

The former sounds like "Command Line Tools for Xcode {version}" on macOS or "don't install any IDE" on the 
free-software UN*Xes (I don't know whether Oracle Studio offers that).

The latter seems less likely, as I think most IDEs either run the compiler/linker/other tools directly or run some 
builder program (make, msbuild, etc.) that runs the compiler/linker/other tools, but I guess if the core of the 
compiler/linker are in libraries that the command-line tools link with and that an IDE program could link with as well 
(say hello, LLVM), it would be possible.
