OSX Change default program to brew installed binary

0

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

Have you tried using fink?

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/evince

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.
