How to apply Jekyll theme on Github Pages?

Question

I made a repository on Github named username.github.io

Then I uploaded a Jekyll theme that I have downloaded. After that I edited URL on config.yml file.

I expected a website with a new theme but it does not show up.

My question is do I must go through Ruby and Bundler process using CMD ? Is there any way I could just simply download theme, upload it on my repository, and make MD file there?

Thank you

A theme contains layouts, assets and collection/.md files. They can be placed in their respective directories . So the answer is 'yes'.
