## Why After stdio transports and provider-owned defaults exist, Codex needs a config-backed provider that can describe more than the single legacy `CODEX_EXEC_SERVER_URL` remote. This PR adds that provider without activating it in product entrypoints yet, keeping parser/validation review separate from runtime wiring. **Stack position:** this is PR 4 of 5. It builds on PR 3's provider/default model and adds the `environments.toml` provider used by PR 5. ## What Changed - Add `environment_toml.rs` as the TOML-specific home for parsing, validation, and provider construction. - Keep the TOML schema/provider structs private; the public constructor added here is `EnvironmentManager::from_codex_home(...)`. - Add `TomlEnvironmentProvider`, including validation for: - reserved ids such as `local` and `none` - duplicate ids - unknown explicit defaults - empty programs or URLs - exactly one of `url` or `program` per configured environment - Support websocket environments with `url = "ws://..."` / `wss://...`. - Support stdio-command environments with `program = "..."`. - Add helpers to load `environments.toml` from `CODEX_HOME`, but do not wire entrypoints to call them yet. - Add the `toml` dependency for parsing. ## Stack - 1. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20663 - Add stdio exec-server listener - 2. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20664 - Add stdio exec-server client transport - 3. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20665 - Make environment providers own default selection - **4. This PR:** https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20666 - Add CODEX_HOME environments TOML provider - 5. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20667 - Load configured environments from CODEX_HOME Split from original draft: https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/20508 ## Validation Not run locally; this was split out of the original draft stack. ## Documentation This introduces the config shape for `environments.toml`; user-facing documentation should be added before this stack is treated as a documented public workflow. --------- Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
