SVN Binaries vs TortoiseSVN

I am setting up SVN for a programming project. I downloaded the binaries, set my PATH variable and can now use SVN from my command line.

After installing a plugin for VS2015 (VisualSVN) it informed me, that i did not install TortoiseSVN and am losing some functionality. I never heard of it so i googled it and it says, that TortoiseSVN is a client that incorporates SVN into the windows explorer.

Now i am kinda confused. Can i work with the binaries only, using the command line (clone repo, commit, push, pull, etc), or do i have to install some kind of enhanced client?

The command line utilities can do everything you mentioned. VS2015/VisualSVN is telling you you could have greater integration with the IDE if you had TortoiseSVN installed. I install them both on my machine. Sometimes the CLI is better and sometimes the GUI is better depending on what I'm doing.
