How can I do right click > File > Properties > Open with > Set as default in the terminal?

I created a java app and an installation script for it. I would like to run my app by double click. So I create myProgram.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ (I did it because base JRE.desktop is using the wrong working directory). If I set it up in the GUI, everything is working, but I am not able to do it from the terminal (basically from my script).

To make a default application that opens a file from the GUI do the following:

  1. Right click on the file and choose properties.
  2. Select the open With tab.
  3. Select your desired application
  4. Click Set as Default
