Emacs Starter Kit Mac Not Installing

I'm trying to install this:

https://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit

I put the following into my ~/.emacs.d/init.el file: 

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)

I then go to run M-x eval-buffer and am told "Cannot open load file: package"

Any idea how I can get around this? I'm unsure what's wrong, but for what it's worth, there was previously no init.el file and my .emacs file doesnt exist either.

package.el is part of Emacs 24. If you're using Emacs 23 or earlier it won't work. – Tyler

The package.el used by emacs-starter-kit is for emacs 24.

There's the package.el file available for the emacs 23 : here

You should replace the package.el file
