How to install only MySQL client in Windows 10?

Question

I am trying to install MySQL client (and nothing else) on Windows (not Linux).

I have a AWS EC2 instance along with MySQL RDS, My intention is to execute scripts from EC2 instance by connecting to the RDS server, So I don't want to install a complete MySQL server (huge) or MySQL Workbench (I will be using .bat file), so I just want to connect with the MySQL client and execute scripts on the remote server!

I tried installing only the client from the MySQL installer, but there is no option at all to choose server-only or client-only. I remember such an option was there before in the installer.

@TimBiegeleisen I think u missed , I am asking for WINDOWS – Gopi Lal Oct 29 '18 at 07:09 — Gopi Lal, Oct 29 '18 at 07:09
It helps to mention these things clearly in your question. – Tim Biegeleisen Oct 29 '18 at 07:11 — Tim Biegeleisen, Oct 29 '18 at 07:11

While installing MySQL 5.7.20.0 Community Edition, you will be asked what type of installation you want and you can choose Client only:
