The usual thing to do in Linux, very similar base, would be to tell the user
to right click in a file manager, ie in the Mac case the Finder, get
properties, and change the permissions to executable. You wouldn't normally
need to ask them to do that in the terminal. Haven't used Macs for quite a
while, so maybe it doesn't work like this.
The Finder can set user permissions for the user, group, and everyone.
But it doesn't have an interface for the executable bit, that has to be
done in Terminal. Perhaps Apple didn't think the executable bit should
be messed with by the peons -- probably wise, considering the computer
savvy of the general population.
