I try to pass the test but it says "can't find index.html file which is necessary for the project to work".

Are you attempting to load your index.html file to a web server? If so, index.html is and should always be loaded to the root of the web server. On a Linux host, it will most likely be /var/www/html/.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Make sure your index.html is in the main area or move it there and refresh your preview.
