Missing Bib(la)tex directory in Texmaker

Question

I am having a nightmare with compiling citations using Texmaker. As part of this I was changing directories and somehow ended up with no directory. I have attempted uninstalling Texmaker and the MacTex as well as removing the program preferences but this hasn't worked. I know you can browse to the Bibtex file but I have no idea where it could be. Can anyone help me get back to some semblance of usage?

Thank you in advance.

It should be enough to enter "bibtex" %.aux or "biber" % in the empty field (assuming it is in your path) — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Apr 11 '18 at 13:22
Mandatory link to https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/35864. — moewe, Apr 11 '18 at 14:37
Yes, whilst that link was useful, you'll also see it contains the full path. That it could be done without the full path is what I didn't know and what these replies have helped me with. — D Devine, Apr 12 '18 at 14:55

If your environment variables are set to include the location of bibtex and/or biber you don't need to worry about the full path, just fill

"bibtex" %.aux

or

"biber" %

into the empty field.
