Hi @SivaSankaraReddy-5370,

Make sure you install the SharePoint Online Client Components SDK: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42038

Or you could install SharePoint Online Management Shell directly and run your csom code there: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35588
