It is the first time I try to use BiBlaTeX for my bibliography because I need to divide it per chapter. So far I have been using BiBteX.

The problem is that I get an error message just by inserting the simple

\usepackage[style=numeric]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{Biblio.bib}

The error I get is

Package biblatex error: File 'File.bbl' not created \begin{document}

It is not a great start!

Any idea as far as what I am doing wrong?

    I assume the error was "not created by biblatex" even though you showed a different text. Just delete the bbl file – David Carlisle Jan 05 '22 at 19:08

    If you switch bibliography setups (or other very 'big' things in your document) it can be useful to delete all temporary files in order to compile from a clean slate. This avoids confusing LaTeX, the packages you load and any other tools involved. Be careful not to delete (source) files that are not regenerated. It is safe (and advisable) to delete .log, .blg, .aux, .bbl, .bcf, .lot, .lof files. – moewe Jan 05 '22 at 19:44

    As David says, the full message in the .log file should be ! Package biblatex Error: File 'File.bbl' not created by biblatex. If your editor only shows the truncated error message, keep that in mind for future reference or find a different editor that shows complete messages (or try to find the setting in your editor that lets you see the full message, if there is such a thing). – moewe Jan 05 '22 at 19:47
  • deleted the bbl and aux files. The process now terminated but still I receive error messages: I found no \citation commands---while reading file file.aux I found no \bibdata command---while reading file file.aux I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file file.aux Also I get these kind of messages: This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (TeX Live 2019/Debian) The top-level auxiliary file: LGlaparocele.aux A level-1 auxiliary file: ./capitoli/introduzione.aux (after I inserted a `\cite command in one chapter – Fabio Campanile Jan 06 '22 at 06:02

    Yes, absolutely, you need to run Biber and not BibTeX. On the command line you just say biber <filename of tex file without extension> instead of bibtex <filename>.aux or bibtex <filename>. If you are using an editor, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/154751/35864. – moewe Jan 06 '22 at 06:57
