There should be an option in System Preferences > Energy Saver called
"Prevent your Mac from automatically sleeping when the display is off".
Enabling that option will cause the computer to stay awake even when the
display sleeps.

If you want the display to never sleep, set the "Turn display off after"
setting to "Never". If you do that, it's probably best to make sure you
have a screen saver enabled too.

Otherwise, as the saying goes, "There's an app for that". I've used
Amphetamine for years to prevent sleep when certain apps or processes
are running, and it's a nice tool to have handy for such a thing:
