The phrase “by all means” is an invitation to do something without any objection from the person who is saying it to you. If you are invited to do something “by all means” that means you can choose whatever manner you like to do it; you can use any and all possible ways to accomplish what you want to do. If person says this to you, they don’t care how you go about doing what you have asked to do.

Hope this helps.
