You can download Org latest release from [[https://orgmode.org/][Org's website]]. In this case,
make sure you set the load path correctly in your Emacs init file:

The downloaded archive contains contributed libraries that are not
included in Emacs. If you want to use them, add the =contrib/=
directory to your load path:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/orgdir/contrib/lisp" t)
