You use the "chmod" function to change the permissions (which are technically
known as "file modes," so chmod stands for "CHange MODe").

The short answer is you do this:

  sudo chmod -R a+rX /usr/local/share/xastir/maps

which makes sure that all files in all subdirectories of the maps directory
(and the subdirectories themselves) are readable by everyone.

For details, see:
  man chmod
