no package.el emacs 24.5.1

[Sanjeev Sariya]

Hi Emacs community,

I'm new to emacs. I'm trying to add couple of bells and whistles to it. 
I upgraded it's version to 24.5.1 Mac OSX

When I type emacs on terminal I get:

;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to save, and for Lisp evaluation.    
                                                                                
                               
;; If you want to create a file, visit that file with C-x C-f,                  
                                                                                
                               
;; then enter the text in that file's own buffer.                               
                                                                                
                               

There's no package.el present in 

~/.emacs.d/ 

Without this nothing would load, and no M-x would work.

Please help.
