jekyll-remote-theme: Windows Error: Could not open library 'libcurl.so.4.dll'

On Windows 7, I’m unable to to run Github Pages locally. Is this expected? Does jekyll-remote-theme still have a dependency on libcurl?

Config.yml

remote_theme: benbalter/retlab

plugins:
   - jekyll-feed
   - jekyll-remote-theme

Gem file

gem 'jekyll-remote-theme', github: 'benbalter/jekyll-remote-theme', branch: 'master'

group :jekyll_plugins do
  gem "jekyll-feed", "~> 0.6"
end

I run $ bundle exec jekyll serve

Configuration file: C:/Users/Daniel.Ling/source/repos/dotnetdan-github-io/_config.yml 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. The full error message from Ruby is: 'Could not open library ‘libcurl’: The specified module could not be found. .
