SDK installation: Necessary?

Sorry guys, silly question, but do I have to install the SDK of MSFS2024 to create simple scenery mods?
Or is dev mode in the sim enough?
When do I need to install the SDK?
(and how to install it, if I have to. Just exectute the MSI installer?)
thanks a lot

Nope

The SDK (the installer) contains sample, several tools, documentation, and is not needed to create simple scenery

The very first page of the SDK documentation will tell you

ā€œIt is possible to create simple assets using just the in-game tools that are available to you in Developer Modeā€,
