~/Library/Application Support/Avian

~/.avian
Once you have opened this folder, create a new folder called flightplans in it.
Go inside this folder, and create a new file with any name you want. Make sure it ends in .lua
For this example, let's make a new file called test.lua
Write flightplan code in new file
Refer to other pages to learn how to write flightplan code.
For this example, we will make code that returns Hello, World!
Code is shown below:
function hello_world ()
return "Hello, World!"
end
Run flightplan from wallet
First, open your wallet with flightplans enabled (shortcut or via terminal)
Go to Help -> Debug -> Console
To run the function hello_world in the file called test.lua, type the following command:
call_flightplan test hello_world
The format of the RPC call is below:
call_flightplan <file name> <function name> <args>
