.
|----- consume.R

• Push your repo.
• Clone the updated repo to your new machine.
• Run Rscript consume.R NEW.

ps: When see these error messages like below, you may need to handle them one by one, for example, do not choose the “y” option when the system asks you whether you can install from sources the package which needs compilation., or if this situation can not be solved, you may need to Google it online because this might be derived from other problems.

> Rscript consume.R NEW
