Those examples were presumably designed for Plain TeX, rather than
LaTeX.
LaTeX undefines a few things Plain, since the same effect is better
achieved in a different way, more consistent with the overall
structure of a document.
\nopagenumbers is one such macro that isn't supported by LaTeX, ...

Try the example unmodified using xetex instead of xelatex ;
that should work just fine.
I cannot tell from your postings which OS you use (Linux, Mac OS,
Windows, etc.) nor which TeX front-end software you use.
But whatever it is, there should be an easy way to run using
Plain (Xe)TeX, rather than (Xe)LaTeX.
