I'm trying to do this for my other install of Emacs (which uses Spacemacs)
and now I'm running into problems. I'm using GUI Emacs on Mac OSX
(from brew install --with-cocoa --srgb emacs).

When I do open -a /Applications/Emacs.app --args --no-init --eval "(progn
(require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '(\"org\" . \"
http://orgmode.org/elpa/\")) (package-initialize)
(package-refresh-contents) (package-install 'org-plus-contrib))" it never
gets pastContacting host: orgmode.org:80. It just shows that message
indefinitely...

When I try eval-ing package.el first, I get package-desc-reqs accessing a
non-package-desc and I can't install org-plus-contrib. Any suggestions?
