How to install Xamarin without Android SDKs for Visual Studio 2017?

I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2017 with Xamarin using its online installer. But when I tick "Mobile development with .NET" under Workloads it selects an Android SDK setup as well. If I try to untick it (Android SDK setup) then Xamarin will also be unticked.

How can I install only Xamarin without any Android SDKs for Visual Studio 2017?

  1. If you are freshly installing Visual Studio 2017, rather than checking Mobile development with .NET under Workloads you have to tick Xamarin under Individual Components in the installer window.

  2. If you had already installed Visual Studio 17 without Xamarin, then go to,

    Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features

    Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and click on Change. In the appeared Window, select Modify under your specific Visual Studio version listed.

    Go to the Individual components tab, now you can select only Xamarin and no other components will be attached to it.

This was my selections under Individual Components to install Xamarin without android. The Green Ticks would be a sufficiently enough selection.
