Adding a line to init.el will allow you to specify the Org-mode instill
to use. Something like the following should work.
(add-hook 'after-init-hook
`(lambda ()
;; remember this directory
(setq starter-kit-dir
,(file-name-directory (or load-file-name (buffer-file-name))))
;; load up the starter kit
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/org-mode/lisp/")
(require 'org)
(org-babel-load-file (expand-file-name "starter-kit.org"
starter-kit-dir))))
