- Install homebrew from https://brew.sh/ (follow the instructions there)
- tap the https://invent.kde.org/packaging/homebrew-kde/ repo,
brew tap kde-mac/kde https://invent.kde.org/packaging/homebrew-kde.git brew edit okular, workaround now is to comment out or delete the linedepends_on "chmlib"(won't compile on macos arm64 for now as of 2021-08-18), then save (if using vim you need to first pressito insert/type, when saving then<esc>then:wqthen<enter>.brew install okular, wait for stuff to compile and/or install- It may ask for keychain credentials (to sign the binaries? because of mac arm64 security policy https://eclecticlight.co/2021/01/26/when-you-dont-have-permission-to-run-an-app-on-an-m1-mac/)
$(brew --repo kde-mac/kde)/tools/do-caveats.sh- Now okular is in your
$HOME/Applications/KDEfolder, and will show up in Launchpad! You can view pdf, djvu, etc documents.

Thank you, I did try searching for the precompiled binary, wasn't easy to find, the link works :)
This method works for me, but here was an error
"okular" can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. Which I had to override.
