Github Pages Unsupported Jekyll Theme

I've been trying to use a Jekyll theme from bootstrap called jekyll-theme-clean-blog, and everytime I publish it on Github I receive an email saying,
"You are attempting to use a Jekyll theme, "jekyll-theme-clean-blog", which is not supported by GitHub Pages."
I tried deleting the "theme" line in my _config.yml, but the page ends up with only the basic HTML and not the template. I have also installed the gem "Jekyll-remote-theme", but it doesn't seem to help. Can someone help me to figure this out?? Or does this mean that I can't use github pages to host the site?? Thank you very much I am a noob.

jekyll-theme jekyll github-pages github

I found this answer in adding a theme in the help docs, hope it helps. In the _config.yml file:

To use a supported theme, type theme: THEME-NAME, replacing THEME-NAME with the name of the theme as shown in the README of the theme's repository

To use any other Jekyll theme hosted on GitHub, type remote_theme: THEME-NAME, replacing THEME-NAME with the name of the theme as shown in the README of the theme's repository.
