I see an error:
Dependency Error: Yikes! It looks like you don't have jekyll-remote-theme or one of its dependencies installed. In order to use Jekyll as currently configured, you'll need to install this gem.

I know this is an old issue, but this should now no longer be a problem! jekyll-remote-theme migrated to use Ruby's built-in Net::HTTP library which does not use/require libcurl: benbalter/jekyll-remote-theme#26
