Why does checkGpuInstall with codegen option fail with the error 'Wno-depre​cated-decl​arations'?

When I run the gpu coder check as documented on the online tutorials I get this error: 

>> coder.checkGpuInstall('gpu','codegen','quiet');

This is a known issue related to an incompatible CUDA version. CUDA 9 is the recommended version for R2018a running on Windows systems.

To resolve this error,

1. Please verify that all system requirements have been met and all third-party products are installed (especially the compatible C/C++ compilers and CUDA toolkit and driver) for using GPU Coder. You can find out more about the requirements here https://www.mathworks.com/products/availability.html#GC
2. If you have multiple CUDA versions installed on your system, please verify that the 'CUDA_PATH' environment variable points to the CUDA 9 executables. To refer to the list of all required environment variables for GPU Coder, run the following command in MATLAB R2018a:
