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))))
