Let me summarize the steps I carried out eventually, to use the package manager. Note, I am using emacs 23 based editor which was shipped with org-mode 6.33.
* Updating Follow the steps: ** Intsall the package manager *** Download the =packages.el= file from http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/blob_plain/1a0a666f941c99882093d7bd08ced15033bc3f0c:/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el. Save in in =~/Library/elisp= for example. *** Add the following code to the =.emacs=: #+BEGIN_SRC elisp (setq load-path (cons "~/Library/elisp" load-path)) (require 'package) (package-initialize) #+END_SRC *** Verify To verify this part, in /emacs/ hit =M-x list-packages RET org=. Here you should see a list of optional packages. /Note:/ you may ignore the warning: =failed to download org-mode archive=. ** Updating org-mode *** Enter the =list-packages= Hit =M-x list-packages RET=. In there mark for installation by =i= the org package and the =x= for the actual installation. *** Restart emacs *** Verify Hit =M-x locate-library RET org= to verify the installation. You should now have org-mode up and running. Thank you all!
