How to remove “index.php” in codeigniter's path

Question

How do I remove the \"index.php\" sticking out in every path in codeigniter somewhere in the center? I want clean non index.php-fied URLs?

Ensure you have enabled mod_rewrite (I hadn't).
To enable:

sudo a2enmod rewrite  

Also, replace AllowOverride None by AllowOverride All

sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default  

Finaly...

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart  

My .htaccess is

RewriteEngine on  
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|[assets/css/js/img]|robots\.txt)  
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
