Having trouble using Turbo with NPM

[H3RSKO]

So I have a simple monorepo with a /client folder containing a vite react project, and a /server folder containing a simple express server.

I'm using NPM, and even after going through the documentation several times I am unable to get turborepo to work.

I have installed turbo in the root folder of my project, and the root package.json looks like this:

{
  "name": "test-app",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "turbo": "^1.0.9"
  },
  "private": true,
  "workspaces": [
    "client/*",
    "server/*"
  ],
  "turbo": {
    "npmClient": "npm",
    "pipeline": {
      "build": {
        "dependsOn": [
          "^build"
        ]
      },
      "lint": {
        "outputs": []
      },
      "dev": {
        "cache": false
      }
    }
  }
}

I have two issues:

1. The documentation says to run yarn turbo run build, but i'm using NPM, so what is the correct command to run? The documentation does not say anything about adding scripts to my root package.json, so running a variation of npm run turbo run build errors with "missing script 'turbo'". Running npm turbo run build errors with "unknown command". Running turbo run build will have the same error.
2. If i do run yarn turbo run build as listed in the documentation nothing is actually built. From what I understand this should essentially be running yarn run build in my ./client folder, but nothing is being run.

I'm sure i'm making a simple mistake, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

AFAIK,

You could either run using npx such like npx turbo run build or just setup a script, ex:

{
    "build": "turbo run build",
    "dev": "turbo run dev --parallel",
    "lint": "turbo run lint"
}

and run it on the project root.

This was it. Thanks!
