Rosinit error: Undefined function or variable 'rosinit'

I am trying to initialize ROS on MATLAB R2015b on Windows 10 64-bit. I have the Robotics System Toolbox installed (as verified by 'ver'). When I enter the 'rosinit' command in the command line, I get this error:
Undefined function or variable 'rosinit'.
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but do I need to have ROS installed on my Windows in order to use this package? The official help page does not explain anything about this!
Thanks

Hi, Yesterday withs matlab R2014a and R2015b i obtain the same error as you when I try to start "rosinit". This morning I install the R2016a and all work well :) You should try to update your version.
Have a good day,

Hi Alireza,
This error indicates that MATLAB is not able to find the function 'rosinit'. Likely, some path got messed up. You can verify this by calling:
>> which rosinit
If it does not return a path to the rosinit.m file, that means this is a path issue.
Please let us know if you are still facing this issue with another version.
Thanks,
Josh
