Is this your server, or your workstation? If the latter, did you install the instant client or the development package?

Is this error message coming from your production server, or your development computer (laptop/desktop)? If this is your development machine, which one of the free installer packages from Oracle did you install on that machine? I have never used Windows for anything, but I have to use Oracle for my day job, and there's a whole bunch of software that you have to install if you want to use Oracle for development. If you're using Oracle on a production server, then this question is probably best handled by your DBA. If you're using Oracle in production without hiring a DBA, you are probably going to have a very long road ahead of you.

The error is coming from my development computer. I am to connect through Oracle client but when I am trying to use Oracle in Ruby I am getting the error message.
Hello,
Please look into this documentation https://github.com/kubo/ruby-oci8/blob/master/docs/install-instant-client.md#windows . They mentioned what needs to be done when such error comes up.
