This website has a very useful little tool, whereby you can tick the options you want and it gives you the command:

To allow everyone to read it, but only Group to execute and User to read and write it would be -rw- rx- r. R stands for Read, w for Write and x for eXecute. The second is Group and the last is Other (everyone else). It accepts three groups of options, represented as. Note that chmod does also have some more advanced options. Just run: chmod +x /path/to/your/file.txt
