Creating a horizontal navbar with bootstrap

I am attempting to make a bootstrap navbar that spans horizontally across the screen. However, when I attempt to do so, the navbar links stack vertically as I will show.

Here is the HTML / CSS I have implemented:

body{
    padding-top: 90px;
    background-color: #dbdbdb;
}

#navMain{
    background-color: #db8606;
    padding-left: 20px;
    padding-right: 20px;
}

#navbar-brand-image{
    height: 70px;

}

.nav-link{
    font-size: 165%;
    font-family: 'Sriracha', cursive;
}

                <div class="navbar-header">
                    <a class="navbar-brand" id="navbar-brand-title" href="index.html"><img src="content/logo.png" id="navbar-brand-image" alt=""></a>
                </div>
                <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                    <li>
                        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <a class="nav-link" href="about.html">About</a>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <a class="nav-link" href="about.html">About</a>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <a class="nav-link" href="about.html">About</a>
                    </li>

                    
                </ul>
            </div>
            
            
        
        </nav>
    </body>
</html>

The result that I achieve looks like this:

Unwanted result

Instead, I want the links to span horizontally.

I tried using the W3schools tutorial at this link and it doesn't even recreate the same as what's on the site.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Navbars are really not that special, except they are fluid (100% wide) and hidden by default when printing. If you place the navbar inside a column grid it will align responsively to its parent; it also works with dropdowns: 

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-9">main content</div>
  <div class="col-3">
    <nav>
       <div class="navbar-header">
          <a class="navbar-brand" id="navbar-brand" href="#">#</a>
       </div>
       <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
          <li><a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a></li>
          <li><a class="nav-link" href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li>
            <a class="dropdown-toggle" aria-expanded="false" data-toggle="collapse" href="#dropdown">dropdown</a>
            <ul class="collapse" id="dropdown">
              <li><a href="#">item 1</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">item 2</a></li>               
            </ul>  
          </li>
          <li><a class="nav-link" href="about.html">About</a></li>
       </ul>
     </nav>
  </div>
</div>
