I am a beginner when it comes to Latex. I am using MikTex TexWorks on Windows. I have already seen this post

However it seems I am still missing something when it comes to Biblatex approach and that's what I am specifically interested in.

Here's my simple code .tex file

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage[style=alphabetic]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{myref}
\DeclareNameAlias{default}{first-last}

\begin{document}
This is a sample document. This is a sample document.
This is a sample document ~\cite{Ref1}.  This is a sample document. \\

\printbibliography

\end{document}

and my myref.bib file in the same folder is 

@Article{Ref1,
  author =   {First, Last},
  title =    {Sample Article},
  journal =  {Journal 1},
  year =     {2006}
}

For @Article I believe these are a must to be included.

In MikTex it runs without any errors and generates the PDF, but reference is missing.

This is the PDF output. I am wondering where am I making a mistake. I am a beginner and am learning by following other examples already available.

  • Did you run the normal cycle, pdflatex -> biber -> pdflatex (twice)? – Bernard Jun 07 '19 at 10:23
  • I am not too sure how to do that. All I know is to run a Green colored Run button in TexWorks and if there are no errors, PDF is produced. – rajeev Jun 07 '19 at 12:03
  • Look in preferences to see what it says under build. – JPi Jun 07 '19 at 12:14
  • Thanks for the inputs, I finally figured it out. For some reasons, path(reference) for biber.exe was simply missing in the Preferences-->Typesetting. I manually added it and now it'w working fine. – rajeev Jun 07 '19 at 13:52
