jekyll-theme-primer bootsrap.min cannot be found

Question

I am trying to run https://github.com/fossasia/gci18.fossasia.org/ locally.

I did it once with jekyll (on an older version of the site) and it worked.

Now, I cloned it so it is updated, but I cannot get it to work. I keep getting an error message that says

Conversion error: Jekyll::Converters::Scss encountered an error while converting 'css/style.scss':
                File to import not found or unreadable: bootstrap.min. Load path: C:/Ruby25-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/jekyll-theme-primer-0.5.3/_sass on line 1
jekyll 3.7.4 | Error:  File to import not found or unreadable: bootstrap.min.
Load path: C:/Ruby25-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/jekyll-theme-primer-0.5.3/_sass on line 1

I have tried reinstalling jekyll-theme-primer but it is not working. How can I fix this?

Per the Jekyll Documentation, you'll want to put all of your SCSS partials (such as bootstrap.min.css, themify-icon.css, and the other files imported in /css/style.scss) into the /_sass/ directory for automatic conversion.

Alternatively, you can specify .css in your import statements. For example:

# /css/style.scss
@import 'bootstrap.min.css';
@import 'themify-icon.css';
...

See https://jekyllrb.com/docs/assets/#sassscss for more information.
