Step 2: Type the command: /gamerule KeepInventory true (make sure to use the upper case letters here).

That should be it. Players can conduct a quick test to see if it worked by spawning in some lava and jumping inside it while in Survival mode. On respawn, inventory items should remain as they were prior to death.
