Files with .h extension in the “include lines in the code are library files. Search for them
with their names. Download it to your computer and copy it to the Arduino / Libraries
folder. You must do this before uploading the code to the arduino).

Example: Necessary library link for NRF24L01: https://github.com/maniacbug/RF24

(Different version library files may be required depending on the Arduino board. It can be
found by trying)
