Failed to generate binary outputs when calling Simulink command with Arduino

I get this error when I try to run Simulink command that is linked to my Arduino board. However, I obtain this error which I deduced is due to the missing Arduino.h file based on the last few lines.

So I went to Arduino file and obtain the Arduino.h file and copy it to the C:/ProgramData/MATLAB/SupportPackages/R2018a/toolbox... directory. However a new source of error comes out and this time it is another file missing. I try searching for the file on my Arduino folder but I can't find. I guess there is a lot of missing files but I don't know why because I follow the steps for my this project from Mathwork itself.

FYI, the project I am working on: https://create.arduino.cc/edu/courses/mod/book/view.php?id=83&chapterid=93

Anyway simulink so far does not work with Arduino yet as this is my first project. Arduino do work with Matlab itself by typing through the command window or as script. This is the example Arduino works with Matlab, https://create.arduino.cc/edu/courses/mod/book/view.php?id=83&chapterid=92 .

Please uninstall both MATLAB and Simulink Support package for Arduino and then close MATLAB and reopen MATLAB as administrator before reinstalling these support packages. In Windows, you can right click on MATLAB Icon and select Run as administrator. In other OSes, you can open an terminal and type sudo MATLAB to give admin privileges.
