In my version (Calibre 2.56.0 - German localization) there's no option "install command line tools" inside "Einstellungen > Verschiedendes".

I looked into the content of calibre.app.

"calibre.app/contents/eboob-viewer.app" exists.

I created an alias of that app and put it inside the application folder. But it's not possible to associate that alias with epub files. It is grayed.

If someone could give me a hint, I would appreciate that. Thanks.
