It turns out I wasn't in the scratch buffer when I tried the eval. I thought I was in that buffer after trying to enter it in the wrong way but that wasn't the case. Also I found el-get package and since that supports more than elpa, I installed that package and made evaluate run on it successfully. I should have had coffee before trying to do something new with emacs.
