Do I need to install SQL Server & SQL Server Management Studio after installing Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise?

Question

I recently installed a version of Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise on my computer. I found that some features are missing (e.g. SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio) as they were installed automatically with previous versions of Visual Studio (i.e. Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate).

Although I installed the Enterprise version, I did not find such a SQL Server product installed on my computer. Previously, they were installed with the Ultimate version automatically. And from this link ( https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/compare-visual-studio-2015-products-vs.aspx ) I found that they should be installed with it, and the old version Ultimate is now the corporate version.
