They do make it hard to find, so you can also download it directly with this link.
Head over to Visual Studio downloads and under "Tools for Visual Studio 2019" select "Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019". In lieu of using full-blown Visual Studio, we are going to just install the base requirement: msbuild, which is just a few megabytes.
If you find it chugging along a little slow on bigger projects, you can disable some of the code linking/reference features by turning off Code Lens in the VS Code user settings (which are stored as JSON) with this setting: "deLens": false. This extension provides some basic intellisense and syntactical features. I'm assuming you are already a fan of VS Code if you are reading this post.

Wanting to modernize, Microsoft open-sourced a new light-weight cross-platform version of. NET project had a tight ball-and-chain relationship with Visual Studio, SSMS, and many other multi-gigabyte Microsoft GUIs. I think one of the worst parts about working with a “legacy” codebase is often times the tooling. Updated for 2019: more modular install and no longer depends on full version Visual Studio!
