OSX Change default program to brew installed binary

by

I’m very disappointed that Apple was still not capable to fix Preview app and my PDFs are all still blurry (comparison between Evince and Preview) on FullHD monitors. So I installed Evince from brew and when I want to use it, I must always use terminal and type nohup evince (or something similar…).

So my question is: How can I configure for example /usr/local/Cellar/evince/3.26.0_2/bin/evince as my default PDF viewer?

I tried to create .command script or .app file with Evince binary in it but it just not working when i try to set it up as default program for anything. :/

OSX version: 10.13.3
Hardware: MacBook Pro 13″ 2015 Early

Answer

Have you tried using fink?

It is similar to homebrew, it has lots of GNU packages, however I am not near a MacOS system right now and I cannot tell you if it will create an actual app icon for you.
