I installed MiKTeX 2.9 on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 LTS following the instructions on the MiKTeX homepage: https://miktex.org/howto/install-miktex-unx
However it seems that biber is not included in this version of MiKTeX (or I simply did not find it in the package list).
What is the proper way to install biber so that all paths are correct?
Declaration: This is not an answer but can be used merely as a recommendation
Until now, MikTeX's version for both Linux and OSX does not include biber
(https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex-packaging/issues/2). A (the only) workaround is to download and install biber
manually from here.
Alternative, Linux users (but also OSX users) are (highly) recommended to install TeXLive. OSX users have also the option to use MacTeX.
