ML with R datasets - download about machine-learning-with-r-datasets HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello @Tianster,
I am not sure this is the right place to ask this question; Open issues are usually reserved for problems in the code or the data etc.

Regarding your question, here is one way how to do it:

1. In your Mac, open a terminal and change to the directory where you want your data to be downloaded.
2. Go to the github page you want to download it's data (for example the challenger data: https://github.com/stedy/Machine-Learning-with-R-datasets/blob/master/challenger.csv)
3. On the right side, you will find a button called "raw". Click on it.
4. Copy the url you will get for the new page (in our example I got https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stedy/Machine-Learning-with-R-datasets/master/challenger.csv)
5. put the following command in the terminal screen
   wget name_of_url

so in our example it should be like this
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stedy/Machine-Learning-with-R-datasets/master/challenger.csv

this will copy the data to the directory you are at. I hope this helps

@stedy If you like I can add these instructions to the "Read me" page
