1. Set up Virtual hosts (if you haven't already), but make sure to point to /public directory (xampp example):

ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot "path-to-project/public"

    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted

2. Do not touch any .htaccess file in default CI4 distribution
3. Edit app/Config/App.php - $baseURL = 'http://www.example.com/'; $indexPage = '';
