Macaroons generated from the $ lncli bakemacaroon method are output as hex-encoded strings by default. To decode these to a binary file for easy usage with lncli these are a few options included here for bash and python.
The output file from these can be passed to the --macaroonpath flag directly when using $ lncli.
