Turborepo FreeBSD 64-bit Binary (Legacy)

Common errors

• Error: Unsupported platform: freebsd x64 LE

  cause This error typically occurs when an older `turbo` binary is installed that does not recognize or support the current operating system/architecture, or if the `turbo` package cannot find a suitable prebuilt binary for the specific platform.
  fix Ensure you are using the main `turbo` package (`npm install turbo`) and allow it to install the correct platform-specific binary. If running on a non-standard environment or an older system, check Turborepo's official documentation for supported platforms. Consider updating your Node.js version and package manager.

• Task 'build' in 'docs' exited with code 1

  cause This is a generic error indicating that a specific task within a Turborepo pipeline failed. Common causes include incorrect script commands, missing dependencies, or environment variables not being correctly passed to the task.
  fix Inspect the logs for the failing task (e.g., by running `turbo build --filter=docs` without other tasks, or by entering interactive mode in Turborepo 2.0+ by selecting the task and pressing Enter). Check the package's `package.json` scripts, ensure all dependencies are installed, and verify environment variable declarations in `turbo.json`.

• The command `turbo` was not found

  cause The `turbo` executable is not in your system's PATH, or the package was not installed globally/locally correctly.
  fix If installed globally, verify `npm bin -g` or `pnpm root -g` is in your PATH. For local installations, run commands using `npx turbo <command>` or `pnpm turbo <command>` to ensure the local binary is used. Ensure `turbo` is listed in your root `package.json`'s `devDependencies`.

• Mismatch between calculated content hash and stored content hash for task 'build#app'.

  cause This indicates a cache miss, often due to an undetected change in inputs, incorrectly defined outputs, or environment variables affecting the build without being declared in `turbo.json`.
  fix Review your `turbo.json` `pipeline` configuration. Ensure `inputs` cover all relevant source files and configuration, `outputs` accurately reflect generated files (and exclude internal caches like `.next/cache`), and all environment variables that influence the build are listed in the `env` array for the task.

Warnings

• breaking This `turbo-freebsd-64@1.4.7` package is abandoned and incompatible with modern Turborepo CLI versions (2.x and above). It may lack critical features, performance optimizations, and bug fixes present in current releases.
  Fix: Do not use `turbo-freebsd-64@1.4.7`. Instead, install the main `turbo` package via `npm install turbo` or `pnpm install turbo`, which automatically fetches the correct, up-to-date platform-specific binary (e.g., `@turbo/turbo-freebsd-64`).
• breaking Turborepo v2.0 introduced significant breaking changes, including strict mode for environment variables by default, requiring a `packageManager` field in the root `package.json`, removal of the `--scope` flag, and changes to task execution and caching behavior. This old binary (`1.4.7`) will not respect these changes.
  Fix: Upgrade to the latest `turbo` CLI (v2.x) and use the `@turbo/codemod migrate` command to automatically update your `turbo.json` and `package.json` files. Review the official Turborepo upgrade guide for a full list of changes and migration steps.
• gotcha Outdated binaries like `turbo-freebsd-64@1.4.7` are not actively maintained and may contain unpatched security vulnerabilities. Using them could expose your development environment or CI/CD pipelines to risks.
  Fix: Always use the latest stable version of the `turbo` CLI to ensure you benefit from security patches and active maintenance. Install `turbo` as a dev dependency in your monorepo root: `pnpm add -D turbo` or `npm install --save-dev turbo`.
• gotcha Misconfiguration of caching in `turbo.json`, particularly incorrect `outputs` or hashing of volatile files, can lead to frequent cache misses, negating Turborepo's performance benefits and causing longer build times.
  Fix: Carefully define `outputs` for all tasks to include only generated files, and `inputs` to include only relevant source files and configuration. Avoid hashing temporary files (`.env`, `node_modules`, `.cache`). Regularly monitor cache hit rates in CI to identify misconfigurations.
• gotcha Circular dependencies between packages in a monorepo can cause build order issues and errors in Turborepo. This often happens when a package indirectly depends on itself through another shared package.
  Fix: Refactor your package structure to eliminate circular dependencies. Extract shared types or utilities into dedicated, independent packages. Turborepo v2.9.5 introduced circular package dependency detection.

Install

• npm install turbo-freebsd-64 npm
• yarn add turbo-freebsd-64 yarn
• pnpm add turbo-freebsd-64 pnpm

Imports

• turbo

  This package provides a native binary executable, not a JavaScript module. It is not intended for direct `import` or `require` in JavaScript/TypeScript code.

  The `turbo-freebsd-64` package is a platform-specific binary for the Turborepo CLI. It is executed via the command line (e.g., `turbo build`) and does not expose JavaScript APIs for programmatic import. Modern Turborepo installations automatically manage the correct platform-specific binary based on the operating system and architecture.

Quickstart

Sets up a minimal Turborepo monorepo with a shared UI package and a web app, then runs a build task, demonstrating general Turborepo usage for modern environments.

mkdir my-monorepo-app
cd my-monorepo-app

# Initialize a new Turborepo project with the latest stable version
npx create-turbo@latest --no-install

# Install dependencies using your preferred package manager (e.g., pnpm, npm, yarn)
pnpm install # Or npm install / yarn install

# Example: Define a shared UI component package
mkdir -p packages/ui
echo '{ "name": "@repo/ui", "version": "0.0.0", "main": "index.ts", "types": "index.ts" }' > packages/ui/package.json
echo 'export function Button() { return <button>Hello Turborepo</button>; }' > packages/ui/index.ts

# Example: Define a web application that uses the shared UI
mkdir -p apps/web
echo '{ "name": "web", "version": "0.0.0", "dependencies": { "@repo/ui": "*" } }' > apps/web/package.json
echo 'import { Button } from "@repo/ui"; export default function Home() { return <Button />; }' > apps/web/pages/index.tsx
mkdir -p apps/web/pages # Create directory for Next.js pages

# Configure Turborepo pipeline (turbo.json)
echo '{
  "$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
  "pipeline": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**"]
    },
    "lint": {
      "outputs": []
    },
    "dev": {
      "cache": false,
      "persistent": true
    }
  }
}' > turbo.json

# Run tasks (e.g., build all projects)
pnpm run build # Or npm run build / yarn build

# This quickstart demonstrates how to set up a basic monorepo with Turborepo
# and run a build task across multiple packages. Note that this assumes a modern
# Turborepo installation, not the abandoned turbo-freebsd-64@1.4.7 binary.
