Biber is a BibTeX replacement for users of biblatex, with full Unicode
support.
REQUIREMENTS
These requirements only apply if you are installing the perl version.
We also provide PAR::Packer generated binaries for most common OSes.
Biber is written in Perl. Version 5.12 is recommended if you are running
the perl source version as it has the best Unicode implementation of any
Perl version so far.
In addition Biber requires a number of CPAN modules, which if missing
should be automatically installed during the install process described
below.
* Unicode::Collate 0.72 or higher
* IPC::Cmd and IPC::Run
* File::Slurp::Unicode
* Readonly (but Readonly::XS is highly recommended for performance reasons)
* List::AllUtils
* Log::Log4perl
* XML::LibXML::Simple (XML::LibXML clone of XML::Simple)
* Text::BibTeX 0.5.1 or higher (requires Config::AutoConf when
installing - please install this first.)
* LWP::Simple
INSTALLATION
Binaries are available for most common architectures but if you wish
to install the perl source version, run the following commands:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test [optional but recommended]
./Build install
SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION
After installing, biber --help will give you the basic documentation.
The latest PDF documentation can be found here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/current/documentation/
Biber also comes with the utility script latex2utf8 to convert files with
LaTeX encoding to UTF-8.
You can also find documentation for the included modules with the perldoc command:
perldoc Biber
perldoc LaTeX::Decode
etc.
More information, bugfix releases, forums and bug tracker are available at:
