Script to download dataset

[techrah]

Notes:

• The dataset is now hosted here: https://github.com/ryanhomer/dsci522-group411-data
• I've included two scripts
  • get_data.R: This is the script we'll use to download data from the repo stated above
  • get_kaggle_dataset.R: This is the script that can be used to download directly from Kaggle. Even though we won't be using this at the moment, I'm including it in case we need it later on.

This is an example of how to use the script. Assuming you are in the project root directory in a terminal session:

Rscript src/get_data.R --url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanhomer/dsci522-group411-data/master/avocado.csv --destfile=data/avocado.csv

I have not written any documentation as yet. I will wait until we know better how we are expected to use the script in our workflow.
