This question is related to the question Tufte-Style Asides.

I downloaded caesar_example.tex from Github sources and complied it from TeXShop. The output file caesar_example.pdf does not contain the bibliography. After examining the console I identified the following as a possible problem. 

LaTeX Warning: Empty bibliography on input line 126.

[7] (./caesar_example.aux)

LaTeX Warning: There were undefined references.

Package biblatex Warning: Please (re)run Biber on the file:

(biblatex)                caesar_example

(biblatex)                and rerun LaTeX afterwards.

I was wondering if the biber package is not installed in my TeX Live 2013. So, I included the line \usepackage{biber} and re-compiled the modified caesar_example.tex file. Then there was no compilation and I got the following message on the console.

! LaTeX Error: File `biber.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,

or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name:

Then I used "TeX Live Utility" to see if this is true. I found out that the following biber packages are installed.

universal-da universal darwin files of biber

x86_64-darwin x86_64-darwin files of biber

What do I have to do to get caesar_example.tex properly compiled?

(If this question is too localized then is there a place that I can ask this question?)

    You need to run biber (instead of bibtex). If texshop has no menu for biber than replace in the configuration bibtex by biber and then use the bibtex menu. – Ulrike Fischer Dec 23 '13 at 15:12
  • Wasted a lot of time on this. Even tried link. Time to give up? – Sony Dec 23 '13 at 16:46
  • Finally I figured it out. I think the link ME/AM helped. I compiled the file with the option BibTex chosen instead of LaTeX. – Sony Dec 23 '13 at 17:20
  • Ulrike already gave the answer, why would you give up? I uploaded a new version of caesar_example.tex on Github that includes the biber directive when using TeXShop>3.21. A more descriptive answer is given here. It might be good to vote that answer up. – Andy Dec 23 '13 at 17:47
