'Is Power BI desktop installation needed for SharePoint list based reports?

We have an application running on Sharepoint Online that uses SharePoint lists to store its data. Our users would like to have the capability to create reports using this data (across multiple lists so joining them would be a requirement) and we found that PowerBI is one option for such a use case. The users who have access to SharePoint and would need to work with reports, all have a Power BI pro license, and I would like to know if in order to create such reports, is an installation of Power BI desktop required? Or is it possible to just use a web version of power BI for creating such reports? Any experience on this? Thanks.

Regards, Raunak
