Did you search around a bit? There's lots of posts with people's
setups. You certainly *can* install over the top of the Org that came
with your version of Emacs (pointing it to install to
/usr/local/share, I suppose), though I've never gone that route. Some
mailing list examples from googling about Orgmode git installation:
- Achim's post:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00609.html
- My setup: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-04/msg0039=
6.html

>From mine, you'll note I never "install" Org -- just clone to a
directory, make, and tell Emacs about it in .emacs... done!
