Issue with isMonorepo Option in a Next.js + Turbo Repo + Yarn Workspaces Setup

Hi,

I’m encountering an issue while using the isMonorepo option. Here’s my setup:
• Frameworks/Tools: Next.js with Turbo Repo and Yarn workspaces.
• Workspace Structure (defined in the root package.json):

package.json using workspaces:

{
  "workspaces": [
    "packages/*",
    "apps/*"
  ]
}

I created a new ReNative project using npx rnv new outside my mono repo and copied the generated project in my apps folder.

Following the project creation, I updated the renative.json configuration in the new project with:

{
  "isMonorepo": true
}

However, when I try to run a command (e.g., rnv run), I encounter the following error:

This project is marked as part of monorepo and it has no custom install tasks. Run your usual monorepo bootstrap procedure and re-run command again.
error: ⨯  Cancelled

What I Need Help With

1. Could you provide an example or detailed steps on how to properly set up ReNative in a monorepo environment like Turbo repo?
2. Where exactly should I execute the npx rnv new command? Should it be inside a specific folder, like apps/, or somewhere else?
3. What does ReNative mean by “custom install tasks”? Are there additional steps or configurations required beyond enabling "isMonorepo": true in renative.json?
4. Do I need to have my renative.json at the root of my mono repo?

Update 1: When using Yarn Workspaces, everything works as expected but I'm not using it the isMonoRepo flag . However, when integrating with Turbo Repo, I encounter the following error:
