CDN vs. local css and js files

I installed Essential Studio v16.1.0.24 with the v16.1.0.37 service pack. I then copied the syncfusion-javascript folder I found in the node_modules directory to my lib folder in the wwwroot of my ASP.NET Core project. If I reference the files directly in the <link and <script tags in my _Layout.cshtml file I don't get the fully functioning controls I want. If I reference the css and js files using 
<link rel="stylesheet" rel='nofollow' href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/material.css" /> 
and 
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/dist/ej2.min.js"></script>
then everything works fine.

Where can I get the proper and correct files to use locally?

Hi Jlim, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

You can get local Essential JavaScript2 scripts and styles easily via install Syncfusion.EJ2.JavaScript  Nuget package.  Please find the steps for installing Nuget (Syncfusion.EJ2.JavaScript ) package. 
 
  1. To install ‘Syncfusion.EJ2.Javascript’ NuGet package from online. 
  
   
  
2. After installation, you can find the script and styles from below location  


Scripts installed local location : Application_name-> scripts-> ej2->ej2.min.js  
  
Styles installed local location:  Application_name->content->ej2->material.css  
    

  
3. Add script and style reference in your _Layout.cshmtl.  


  @*syncfusion script and styles*@  
    <script src="~/Scripts/ej2/ej2.min.js"></script>  
    <link rel='nofollow' href="~/Content/ej2/material.css" rel="stylesheet" />

I followed your example and I still don't have either scripts or content folders in my project. This is the package manager console output:

Hi Jlim, 
 
Sorry for inconvenience caused. 
 
Currently Nuget package support is not available in Essential JS2 ASP.NET Core. So You can get the local Essential JS2 scripts and styles from  your installed build (Essential JS2 ASP.NET core build) location. Please find the location 
 
Scripts: 
 
Installed-build-location\Syncfusion\ASP.NET CORE - EJ2\version\wwwroot\scripts 

For example 
 
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Syncfusion\ASP.NET CORE - EJ2\16.1.0.37\wwwroot\scripts  
 
Screenshot :  
 
 
 
 
 
Styles:  
 
Installed-location\Syncfusion\ASP.NET CORE - EJ2\version\wwwroot\styles  
 
For example: 
 
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Syncfusion\ASP.NET CORE - EJ2\16.1.0.37\wwwroot\styles  
 
ScreenShot:

I have tried several ways to try to get the script and style files that I need to reference in my ASP.NET Core 2.1 project. I have installed Essential Studio 16.1.0.37, the ASP.NET Core (Essential JS 2) product, and the plain ASP.NET Core product. NONE of them install anything at "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Syncfusion\ASP.NET CORE - EJ2" or anything like that. I found this folder: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Syncfusion\16.1.0.37\Web (Essential JS 2)\ASP.NET Core, but there are no scripts or styles folders there and I searched for, without finding, material.css or ej2.min.js

I need you to start from telling me which packages, exactly, you are saying I should install and then maybe I can see what you're talking about. This should not be so difficult!
