Forbidden You don't have permission to access {codeigniter} on this server

I am trying to run CodeIgniter for the first time. I have a running apache2 server on my machine. I downloaded CodeIgniter and copy extracted folder it into /var/www/html folder. Also, I set baseUrl config in CodeIgniter

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/codeIgniter';

But I am getting 

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /codeIgniter/ on this server.

I tried setting .htaccess file but couldn't fix the issue. what is the solution for this issue?

This is a pretty vague question but here are some trouble shooting things.

In the HTML folder do: chown -R www-data:www-data nameOfProject.

Also did you set up everything in your apache/sites-available and sites-enabled. Also set up your host file

If this doesn't work just google setting up a ci project.

The reason you had to chown it was to allow appache to access it
