A single question for configuring editors to do LaTeX/Biber compilation?

Question

We have various questions from people wanting to set up their editor(s) for use with Biber, or struggling to get the LaTeX/Biber/LaTeX workflow to work: see for example Biblatex, Biber, and LaTeX: citations undefined. This is mainly because most editors come pre-set for LaTeX/BibTeX/LaTeX/LaTeX or leave this entirely to the user. I wonder if we should look to create a 'definitive' question to cover this. What I'm imagining is a question with appropriate text to be easy to find, plus instructions for answers (similar to LaTeX Editors/IDEs). Each answer would then be specific instructions for an editor (proably with platform variations if appropriate)_, with the idea being that the question itself (and thus the answers) would be community wiki.

Does this sound like a reasonable idea?

Bonus question now the main part has been agreed: does it make sense to dupe older editor-specific questions to the new generic one, provided the appropriate editor is now covered by the general question?

Answer 1

Based on votes on the question and comments here it seems the answer is 'yes'. Before posting a question on the main site and starting to populate it with answers, it would be a good idea to draft out the question and guideline-comments here: see below.

Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations [Proposed question title]

Running the minimal example

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@ARTICLE{example,
  author  = {Other, Anthony Norman},
  title   = {Some things I did},
  year    = {2014},
  journal = {J.~Irrep. Res.},
  volume  = {1},
  number  = {1},
  pages   = {1-10}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
Hello\cite{example}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}

I get the warning There were undefined references.

I have read Question mark or bold citation key instead of citation number and know that I need to run:

1. LaTeX
2. Biber
3. LaTeX

However, my editor is only set up to run BibTeX. How do I go about setting up my editor/IDE to be able to run Biber, and how do I run the LaTeX/Biber/LaTeX cycle?

Comments/guidelines:

• Each answer should be for one editor. If the editor is cross-platform, if possible give a single answer with notes covering the minor platform variations.

• Each answer should be 'stand alone', i.e. don't say 'It's almost the same as editor Y but ...'

• Instructions on how to set up build tool such as arara or latexmk are welcome, but the primary focus should be on the basic 'by hand' approach.
