+  **Note for Windows/PowerShell users:** If running the database deployment scripts fails with an error stating `Environment variable not found: DATABASE_DIRECT_URL`, Turbo might be failing to inject the root `.env` variables. You can bypass this by executing the commands directly from the prisma package directory in PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+cd packages/prisma
+$env:DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:YOUR_PASSWORD@localhost:5432/postgres"; $env:DATABASE_DIRECT_URL="postgresql://postgres:YOUR_PASSWORD@localhost:5432/postgres"
