Insufficient number of outputs from right hand side of equal sign to satisfy assignment error in fieldtrip toolbox

I'm trying to run a sample code given found in the examples provided within the toolbox which is:
cfg1 = [];
cfg1.InstitutionName = 'Radboud University';
cfg1.InstitutionalDepartmentName = 'Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour';
cfg1.InstitutionAddress = 'Kapittelweg 29, 6525 EN, Nijmegen, The Netherlands';
% required for dataset_description.json
cfg1.dataset_description.Name = 'EMG example';
cfg1.dataset_description.BIDSVersion = 'unofficial extension';
% optional for dataset_description.json
cfg.dataset_description.License = 'n/a';
cfg.dataset_description.Authors = 'n/a';
cfg.dataset_description.Acknowledgements = 'n/a';
cfg.dataset_description.Funding = 'n/a';
cfg.dataset_description.ReferencesAndLinks = 'n/a';
cfg.dataset_description.DatasetDOI = 'n/a';
cfg1.method = 'copy'; % the original data is in a BIDS-compliant format and can simply be copied
cfg1.bidsroot = './bids'; % write to the present working directory
cfg1.datatype = 'emg';
cfg1.sub = 'NT05';
% these are general fields
cfg1.Manufacturer = 'BrainProducts';
cfg1.ManufacturersModelName = 'BrainAmp MR plus';
% these are EMG specific fields
cfg1.emg.EMGPlacementScheme = 'electrode pairs were placed over various muscles';
cfg1.emg.EMGReference = 'bipolar';
cfg1.emg.EMGGround = 'unclear where the ground electrode was placed on the body';
cfg1.emg.EMGChannelCount = 13; % it might actually be that some channels are recording something else
% there are two recordings of the EMG, during the RS scan and during the GABA scan
% in both EMG recordings the task for the subject was the same
cfg1.TaskDescription = 'The subject was lying in the MRI scanner during a resting-state BOLD scan, while EMG was being recorded';
cfg1.task = 'resting';
cfg1.dataset = './original/nt05_EMG_SESS1_RS_RAW.vhdr';
cfg1.run = 1;
% write the first EMG recording as run-1
data2bids(cfg1);
cfg1.TaskDescription = 'The subject was lying in the MRI scanner during a GABA MRS scan, while EMG was being recorded';
cfg1.task = 'resting';
cfg1.dataset = './original/nt05_EMG_SESS1_GABA_RAW.vhdr';
cfg1.run = 2;
% write the first EMG recording as run-2
data2bids(cfg1);
After I run it I get this error:
Insufficient number of outputs from right hand side of equal sign to satisfy assignment.
Error in ft_version (line 145)
ftver = a.Version;
Error in ft_preamble_init (line 50)
[FjmoT6aA_ft_ver, FjmoT6aA_ft_path] = ft_version;
Error in ft_preamble (line 83)
evalin('caller', full_cmd);
Error in data2bids (line 202)
ft_preamble init
Error in convert_to_bids (line 46)
data2bids(cfg1);
Initially cfg1 was cfg, but in one of the posted questions I found that it might be the variable's name so I changed it but still had the same error

After you have have done the above commands, please show the output of
which -all ft_version

Fieldtrip does not recommend adding the whole toolbox to your path. Just run the function ft_defaults.m and it will do it properly for you.
Try it by doing:
if isempty(which('ft_preprocessing'))
restoredefaultpath
startup;
ft_dir = path/to/main/fieldtrip/folder;
run(fullfile(ft_dir,'ft_defaults.m'));
end
The purpose of the if statement is so that you don't need to alter your path everytime you run your script, since this is a time-expensive process.
