Can't see marmalade repo on emacs 24 on OSX 10.6.8 - emacs

I'm trying to set up emacs 24 to use with clojure on osx. I've installed emacs 24 from emacsformacosx.com, and I've added the following code to ~/.emacs.d/init.el:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
(when (not package-archive-contents)
(package-refresh-contents))
;; Add in your own as you wish:
(defvar my-packages '(starter-kit starter-kit-lisp)
"A list of packages to ensure are installed at launch.")
(dolist (p my-packages)
(when (not (package-installed-p p))
(package-install p)))
However when I do M-x package-refresh-contents, and package-install, clojure-mode and the other marmalade packages don't show up. The starter kit must be installed since ido-mode works, so I'm not sure what's happening. I can go to ~/.emacs.d/elpa/archive/marmalade and see that the packages are there. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

It turns out
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
Needed to be in ~/.emacs not ~/.emacs.d/init.el

prop-menu package not showing up in emacs list-packages

I am trying to install the prop-menu package for emacs (on WSL2) and here's my init.el :
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/"))
However, when I run the M-x package-list-packages command in the emacs GUI, I am not able to see the package listed :

How to fetch every package from Melpa for Emacs package-install on OS X?

I am on emacs version 26.3 for OS X.
This is my ~/.emacs.d/init.el file
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
I have run M-x eval-buffer on this init.el file. I would like to install packages from Melpa such as move-text. However M-x package-list doesn't show move-text. This is the case for many packages. How do I get alllll the packages from Melpa available for M-x package-install?
It took a few things to fix this. First of a M-x package-list is outdated by M-x list-packages (thanks #Y.E.).
Now when I M-x list-packages I got the following error: Can't use the package manager. It says The TLS Connection to elpa.org:443 is insecure.
To fix this I found this link (https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/pyevj8/what_should_i_do_cant_use_the_package_manager_it/) which advises adding package-archives for gnu and a mirror of melpa. My init.el now looks like this:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)
'(package-archives
'(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("melpa" . "http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/stable.melpa.org/packages/")))
(package-initialize)
And it seems that it Can fetch all packages from Melpa. I don't entirely understand why gnu is necessary but it seems to be.

Emacs : install auto-complete issues

I have some issues with the installation of autocompletion on emacs 24.5.
I cloned https://github.com/auto-complete/auto-complete.git repo in my .emacs.d folder located here : C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d
I run :
M-x load-file C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d\auto-complete\etc\install.el and anwser to install it in : C:\Users\Ben\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d\lisp
Emacs answered : Successfully installed!
Then I add the following lines to my .emacs:
(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Users/Ben/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/lisp")
(require 'auto-complete-config)
(ac-config-default)
When I run emacs, I have the following error :
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `c:/Users/Ben/AppData/Roaming/.emacs':
File error: Cannot open load file, no such file or directory, popup.
Here is my complete .emacs file :
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/"))
(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/Users/Ben/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/lisp")
(require 'auto-complete-config)
(ac-config-default)
What's wrong ? How to install auto-complete on emacs ?
You need to install the popup library: https://github.com/auto-complete/popup-el

Can't install yasnippet?

I tried to install yasnippet using the "normal install" protocol given here. After placing the yasnippet-0.6.1c folder in ~/.emacs.d/plugins/, I tried to eval the following in my .emacs:
(add-to-list 'load-path
"~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet-0.6.1c")
(require 'yasnippet) ;; not yasnippet-bundle
(yas/initialize)
(yas/load-directory "~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet-0.6.1c/snippets")
At the second sexp, I get the backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable yasnippet-bundle)
eval(yasnippet-bundle)
eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
eval-last-sexp(nil)
call-interactively(eval-last-sexp)
recursive-edit()
byte-code(...
Could anyone point me in the right direction with this? I'm not familiar enough with Emacs to be certain that this is not a user error, but it would seem from the backtrace that at least the loadpath was correct.
This is yasnippet 0.6.1c. I can reproduce it on Aquamacs 1.9 and GNU Emacs 22.2.1 under OSX 10.4 and GNU Emacs 23 under Ubuntu 10.04. Thanks in advance for any advice!
(add-to-list 'load-path
"~/.emacs.d/plugins/yasnippet-0.6.1c")

Emacs 23.2 with ECB 2.40 | File error: Cannot open load file, semantic-ctxt

How I can use the Emacs Code Browser v2.40 with my fresh installed Emacs 23.2 (Debian distro)
In my init.el I have:
(semantic-mode)
(add-to-list 'load-path
"~/.emacs.d/plugins/ecb-2.40")
(require 'ecb)
When I run Emacs, I get an Error message on statrup:
File error: Cannot open load file, semantic-ctxt
I have read CEDET suite is build in from Emacs 23, so I don't have installed it.
This did the trick for me with 2.40:
(require 'semantic/analyze)
(provide 'semantic-analyze)
(provide 'semantic-ctxt)
(provide 'semanticdb)
(provide 'semanticdb-find)
(provide 'semanticdb-mode)
(provide 'semantic-load)
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/ecb-2.40")
(require 'ecb)
I haven't been using it for long, but the obvious features seem to work.
UPDATE: or you can just use the latest CVS snapshot, it's updated for integrated CEDET.
Many people have complained about problems with the CEDET shipped with Emacs 23.2, so I recommend you to try using the standalone CEDET distribution and see if you have the problem with it as well.
