Couldn’t find target rules file for target ‘UE4Server’ in rules assembly ‘UE4Rules, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’.

I’m not the author of the tutorial but it explains most of the steps. Either you didn’t follow the instructions properly, or you aren’t using the source-code version of the engine from GitHub. Be sure to read the whole tutorial. Without knowing what you did though, only you can answer this question…
