As part of developing scripts and to save the other services/resources accessed by ArcGIS, is there a way or separate installer to install Python and ArcPy libraries alone without installing ArcMap?

Best Answer
Arcpy must be installed with one of Esri's applications like ArcGIS Desktop, Arcgis Server, ArcEngine. With Arcpy, there are dependencies on arcgis binaries (dlls).
You can find those dependencies and with some hacking achieve what you are looking. However this is against the terms of use of esri software.
