You need to install the oracle client.
Refer
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-connect-oracle-database
This is the client.
https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/odac-downloads.html
After installing, please make sure you Add Path in the environment variable path, otherwise you will keep on getting this error.
These are my locations, Change as per need
i don't know which version should i install
from that link
https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/odac-downloads.html
also should I install this on my PC (the host of Power BI Desktop) or on the server side
Thanks
