HTML and HTAccess

I have been struggling with this all morning and I have not had much luck.

I am trying to get the following stackoverflow post to work: How to remove .html from URL

Here is my file directory with the htaccess file: enter image description here

Here is my code that works fine using .html enter image description here

So I went into sublime text and posted the same code into a .htaccess file as shown here (also in my directory first pic): enter image description here

I then changed my links and removed .html enter image description here

But I get an error enter image description here

If anyone could please tell me what I'm doing wrong I would be grateful! Been bashing my head on this all morning

.htaccess is used by Apache Webserver. You must install and configure an Apache Webserver and access your site through http://localhost for example.

Currently your .htaccess is completely ignored until your site is served by Apache.

.htaccess is a file used to control access for Apache web servers. It won't affect anything unless you're running and accessing an Apache server. From your screenshots I can see that you're directly opening a file from your hard drive.

Your browser is saying File not found because you're trying to access a non-existent file. The address bar in your browser should say this:

file:///Users/mikegeng/Documents/GitHub/MichaelGeng.github.io/index.html
