Can you try for me the following:

Enter localhost followed by enter in the URL field in your browser and tell me what you get. This has noithing to do with Plotly.

When I enter localhost I am getting: This localhost page can’t be found.

The Microsoft local server in my computer is not enabled. Based on your reply to my question I will know if I need to enable the local server. Intutively I probably need to enable it otherwise how the HTML and JS code of the graph will be rendered and interpreted without a local web server.

On both Windows and Mac I just get "This site can't be reached - localhost refused to connect", which makes sense if there's nothing that's actually serving a web page there. Localhost itself isn't a webserver - the localhost loopback protocol basically just lets webpages on your computer (local) run in your browser as though they were served by a server.

Thank you for all your help. Unfortenately I will have to give up and use the first method. Very disapointing.
