ERC-20 Token Smart Contract Redeployment

Question

Hello everyone am wondering how can someone redeploy ERC-20 Token Smart contract thats already deployed?

I have already deployed few contracts both on Ropsten Test Network and on Main ETH Network was sucessful in both instances, having that said all contracts I wrote from scratch that have values shown clearly, I mean by this: - Name - Total supply - Symbol - Decimals

Using Sublime to edit the contract then dropping it into Remix to compile and deploy it using web3 injected wallet such as Metamask.

I am trying to redeploy a smart contract thats already on the Main ETH network. Where is the total supply value? Why Values are not showing in the Smart Contract, Where should I edit?

There are many answers online but none of them gives clear answer to this!

Smart Contract code from Etherscan:

pragma solidity ^0.4.8;

contract SafeMath {
  function safeMul(uint256 a, uint256 b) internal returns (uint256) {
    uint256 c = a * b;
    assert(a == 0 || c / a == b);
    return c;
  }

  function safeDiv(uint256 a, uint256 b) internal returns (uint256) {
    assert(b > 0);
    uint256 c = a / b;
    assert(a == b * c + a % b);
    return c;
  }

  function safeSub(uint256 a, uint256 b) internal returns (uint256) {
    assert(b <= a);
    return a - b;
  }

  function safeAdd(uint256 a, uint256 b) internal returns (uint256) {
    uint256 c = a + b;
    assert(c>=a && c>=b);
    return c;
  }

  function assert(bool assertion) internal {
    if (!assertion) {
      throw;
    }
  }
}

When you deploy a contract with Remix (and any client capable of deploying a contract) you need to give the contract the required constructor arguments. In your case the required arguments are:

uint256 initialSupply,
string tokenName,
uint8 decimalUnits,
string tokenSymbol

These values can be given only when deploying the contract and therefore only once. If the contract doesn't have an empty constructor (as your contract doesn't) then you can't deploy it without providing values for these arguments. So just provide the correct values and they get stored in the contract when it's deployed successfully.
