I am having an issue with my .bib file. Both in text references and the bibliography at the end do not show up. These are the error messages I get:

The top-level auxiliary file: Chapter_one_26.02.21.aux
I found no \citation commands---while reading file Chapter_one_26.02.21.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file Chapter_one_26.02.21.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file Chapter_one_26.02.21.aux
(There were 3 error messages)

and this is my code:

...
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{BiblioC1.bib}
...
\begin{document}
...
\printbibliography
...
\end{document}

any ideas of why this is happening? Thanks a lot

    (1) Welcome, (2) exactly which program did you run here? It looks like you ran bibtex, but biblatex expects biber unless stated otherwise – daleif Mar 01 '21 at 09:40
  • Thanks. Yes, the bibliography is exported from Zotero so I guess it is a bibtex file. Should I use a different package? – Manuel Mar 01 '21 at 09:54

    You're confusing things here. You bibliographical data is in a format called bibtex-format. This can be handled via several different external programmes to produce the bibliography that latex can then typeset. The primary of those programmes are called bibtex and biber (yes the programme has the same name as the data format, like like with latex). So we need to know exactly which external program you are using here to handle the conversion from the .bib file to latex – daleif Mar 01 '21 at 10:01
  • I see, thanks. I am not sure of what external programme I am using but if I use natbib instead of biblatex it seems to work so I guess it is bibtex, correct? – Manuel Mar 01 '21 at 10:12
  • Correct, but biblatex will work fine, you just need to tell your editor to use biber instead of bibtex. How to do that depends on the editor. – daleif Mar 01 '21 at 10:58
  • https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/35864 has step-by-step instructions to set up the most common editors for Biber. https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/63852/35864 explains in more detail what Biber and BibTeX do and why they need to be run on your file. – moewe Mar 01 '21 at 12:56
