You're likely running Sitecore in CMS-only mode, or your license does not have xDB enabled (https://doc.sitecore.com/users/90/sitecore-experience-platform/en/cms-only-mode-compatibility.html)

Here are the relevant settings: https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/90/platform-administration-and-architecture/en/the-cms-only-mode-configuration-settings.html

To validate your settings, go to http://<yourinstance>/Sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx and look for the settings specified above to view their values.

To validate the license, click on the hamburger menu from the content editor:

and check for Sitecore.xDB.Base
