I have tried a few different techniques from posts excruciatingly similar to mine, but nothing seems to work.
I am currently running Jekyll 4.0.0, and I have not even gotten to connecting it to github pages. I'm using a tutorial by Mike Dane, and I've followed it to the letter. It's an older tutorial so I assume there have been changes.
I have tried reverting to an older version of Jekyll, (3.8.3, as recommended in the post I found) but that gave me more errors than I started with.
Here is my current error as I try to run bundle exec jekyll serve
jekyll 3.8.6 | Error: The minimal theme could not be found. Traceback (most recent call last):

Sorry for the big block, but I'm relatively new and not exactly sure what is important. I have verified from multiple tutorials that I've entered the theme into the gem file properly.
I've installed the gem file using `bundle install' and it properly installed it.
I used bundle info jekyll-theme-minimal to install it and have had no luck.
Apologies if there is an identical post to this one, but I have found many with the exact same issue that were solved by something that I had already done. I promise I've searched other posts before making this one.
Note:
Running on Windows 10 Home
gem 3.1.2
ruby 2.7.1p83
doing jekyll -v gives an error, which may be part of the same problem.
