How to change theme from default minima to this?

[sonictl]

Hello, I'm a newbie of jekyll blog system. I created blog folder by:

cd ~
jekyll new myBlog
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

So I can preview the website at 127.0.0.1:4000

However, when I try to change the default minima theme by following the readme.md. I met errors when running jekyll serve command.

In detail, I did the operations below:

1. edit the _config.yml by adding the lines below:

remote_theme: pages-themes/[email protected]
- jekyll-remote-theme # add this line to the plugins list, cuz I already have one

2. change the theme config in _config.yml as:

theme: minimal

3. add the gem line in Gemfile:

gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins

4. Run the bundle install at the path of ~/myBlog
   This step may meet error about version confilict.
   I fix these errors by removing some version words in Gemfile

5. Run the bundle exec jekyll serve
   I meet different types of errors.

Is there any standard steps about changing the jekyll theme for newbie?

Thank you very much and I spent one whole day for changing theme for jekyll! I feel very frustrated now :(

I tried, but finally give it up. Fiddling with this problem can lead to new problems or even breakdown of the blogging system. Considering the high cost, let it go.
