In order to use a modified Biblatex style with MacTex, I copied the .bbx and .cbx files to usr/local/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/tex/latex/biblatex-iest. But when I try to use it in my document with \usepackage[bibstyle=iest, citestyle=iest, isbn=false, backend=biber]{biblatex}, it won't load it, but it produces errors like
Package biblatex Error: Style 'iest.bbx' not found. \RequireBibliographyStyle{\blx@bbxfile}
Package biblatex Error: Style 'iest.cbx' not found. \RequireCitationStyle{\blx@cbxfile}
Package xkeyval Error: `isbn' undefined in families `blx@opt@pre'. \blx@processoptions
Package biblatex Error: Command '\cite' undefined. \cite
...
I used my code on a Windows TexLive system, there it worked perfectly after adding the .bbx and .cbx files to the latex folder.
Now I found out that using ANY style in the \usepackage[bibstyle=iest.bbx, citestyle=iest.cbx, isbn=false, backend=biber]{biblatex} command turnes out not to be found!!
That means: The same errors happen when I change bibstyle=iest, citestyle=iest to style=chicago for example.
I'm missing somthing very important obviously. Please help my find out what it is!
Do i need to define any paths or something?
Here are parts of my code:
\documentclass[pagesize = auto, paper=a4, DIV=15,BCOR=0mm, fontsize=11pt]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{todonotes}
\reversemarginpar
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[scaled]{helvet}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\usepackage[bibstyle=iest, citestyle=iest, isbn=false, backend=biber]{biblatex}
\bibliography{Literatur.bib}
\usepackage[]{setspace}
\onehalfspacing
\AfterTOCHead{\singlespacing}
\KOMAoptions{DIV=last}
\begin{document}
\shorthandoff{"}
Text \cite{citekey1}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}

You will have to refresh the file name database in some cases viamktexlsr. Mac OS changes that affect lots of answers might or might not have something to do with this. When you give the style names you do not have to (in fact, you must not) include the.bbx/.cbxfile endings. – moewe Aug 03 '15 at 19:13biblatex-iestgithub page which advises to copy the files to~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/biblatex-iest/on Mac OS X. – moewe Aug 03 '15 at 19:16iest.cbxandiest.bbxare completely new, hence you have to create a folder by that name. Do not do stuff as root when you don't know what they are doing. To the remark: You can download the complete zip folder, there is a button on the right. – Johannes_B Aug 05 '15 at 20:20~/texmf/tex/latex/biblatex-iest/yourself. After you are done you probably also need to runtexhash(see also TeXLive won't find files in $HOME/texmf). Also downloading the files "raw" should work very well, they are not saved as HTML then. – moewe Aug 06 '15 at 04:54.bbxversion of the article there is a slight typo in the name format, it reads\DeclareNameFormat{tubafshort}{}and the following bibmacros are left dangling in mid-air. (The github version is fine, though in that regard.) The wholetubafshortsemms not really necessary, asfirstinits=trueshould do the same (except of course that the latter will also treat byeditors etc. the same way - which could be desirable or not). – moewe Aug 06 '15 at 05:01\DeclareNameAlias{default}{last-first}as well to get "Last, First" name order, sorry. – moewe Aug 06 '15 at 06:41biblatex-iestsees this and is able to improve the installation guide. Right now, i made him aware. – Johannes_B Aug 06 '15 at 19:12
