Vue <router-link> not clickable

Question

I'm trying to set up a Vue app with some simple routing so I can navigate to different pages. I installed Vue-Router through npm and I've tried following a couple tutorials online but, I can't seem to figure out why my is not clickable or why, when I manually type in the URL, it doesn't change anything. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

main.js:

import {createApp} from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import "./vue-api-call/styles.css"
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'
import About from "./About"
import Home from "./Home";


const routes = [
    {path: '/about', component: About},
    {path: '/home', component: Home}
]

const router = new VueRouter({routes})

createApp(App, router).mount("#app")

export default router

App.vue:

<!-- This first part of the file, the template part, is basically like an HTML page. Whatever we put in here will
display when we use 'npm run serve'. -->
<template>
  <!-- The <div> tag is used as a container for HTML elements - which is then styled with CSS or manipulated with
  JavaScript. -->
  <div id="app">
    <!--    <nav>Hello</nav>-->
    <!-- The router-view tag will display info that comes from the router-link tag. More information here:
    https://next.router.vuejs.org/guide/#html -->
    <router-view>
      <router-link to="/about">About</router-link>
    </router-view>

You forgot to tell Vue to use the VueRouter. From the Official Docs.

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
...
...

const routes = [
    {path: '/about', component: About},
    {path: '/home', component: Home}
];

const router = new VueRouter({routes});

createApp(App).use(router).mount('#app'); // <== Here

export default router;
