# Install theme > How to install any theme from RubyGems _Note this is a general guide which you can keep and modify when creating a new project from this one. The theme `minima` is used here since `jekyll-theme-quickstart` is not published as so will not work. Note that on GH Pages that this approach only works with a limited set of supported themes - you have to use Remote Themes plugin to use another theme on GH Pages._ 1. Add your `Gemfile`: ```ruby gem "minima" ``` 2. Add to your `_config.yml`: ```yaml theme: minima ``` 3. Install it: ```sh $ bundle install ``` 4. Start your server.
