is Visual Studio 2015 installed with the common tools?

Visual studio 2015 is infact installed (as of now, i read that actually in a different forum. How would i go about actually installing the common tools?)

hello

download the Visual Studio community, open it and select “modify”.

A lot of options will show up to select, you select the common tools and install it, it is about 2GB

Good luck
