After Installation complete this will included in the project. You can refer it from the Project Assembly Reference.

We need to install NewtonSoft.JSON as dependency since it Syncfusion.EJ2 dependent to NewtonSoft.JSON package.

Step 3: Open the Views/_ViewImports.cshtml to import Syncfusion.EJ2 package.

@addTagHelper *, Syncfusion.EJ2

Step 4: Add client side resource through CDN or local package in the layout page Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml.

<head>
@* Syncfusion Essential JS 2 Styles *@
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/material.css" />

@* Syncfusion Essential JS 2 Scripts *@
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/dist/ej2.min.js"></script>
</head>

Step 5: Adding Script Manager in layout page Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml.

<body>
    @RenderBody()
    @RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)
<ejs-scripts></ejs-scripts>
</body>

Step 6: Add the below code to your Index.cshtml view page which is present under Views/Home folder, to initialize the Accumulationchart.

<ejs-accumulationchart id="container" title="Mobile Browser Statistics">
            <e-accumulationchart-legendsettings visible="false">
            </e-accumulationchart-legendsettings>
            <e-accumulation-series-collection>
                <e-accumulation-series dataSource="ViewBag.dataSource" xName="xValue" yName="yValue" name="Browser">
                </e-accumulation-series>
            </e-accumulation-series-collection>
        </ejs-accumulationchart>

Pie Series

By default, the pie series will be rendered when assigning the JSON data to the series using the
dataSource
property. Map the field names in the JSON data to the
xName and
yName properties of the series.

@Html.EJS().AccumulationChart("container").Title("Mobile Browser Statistics")
                                      .LegendSettings(ls => ls.Visible(false)).EnableSmartLabels(true).
                                      Series(series =>
                                      {
                                          series.DataLabel(dl => dl.Visible(true).Name("text"))
                                                .XName("xValue")
                                                .YName("yValue")
                                                .Name("Browser")
                                                .Type(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.AccumulationType.Pie)
                                                .DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource).Add();
                                      }).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
        {
           List<PieChartData> chartData = new List<PieChartData>
            {

                new PieChartData { xValue = "Chrome", yValue = 37, text = "37%", fill="#498fff"},
                new PieChartData { xValue = "UC Browser", yValue = 17, text = "17%", fill="#ffa060"},
                new PieChartData { xValue = "iPhone", yValue = 19, text = "19%", fill="#ff68b6"},
                new PieChartData { xValue = "Others", yValue = 4 , text = "4%", fill="#81e2a1"},
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
             return View();
        }
         public class PieChartData
        {
            public string xValue;
            public double yValue;
            public string text;
            public string fill;
        }
