## Summary Support marketplace plugins whose source directory does not include a discoverable plugin manifest. Metadata-rich `marketplace.json` entries now act as fallback plugin manifests for listing, local detail reads, install, and non-curated cache refresh. The fallback preserves marketplace-entry plugin fields wholesale, then adds the small Codex-facing compatibility bridge for presentation metadata. A real source `plugin.json` always wins when present. ## Details - Capture flattened marketplace-entry fields into `MarketplacePluginManifestFallback`, preserving fields such as `version`, `description`, `skills`, `mcpServers`, `apps`, `hooks`, `agents`, `commands`, `strict`, `author`, and future manifest fields without a per-field translation list. - Bridge Claude-style top-level `displayName`, `author.name`, `homepage`, and marketplace `category` into Codex's nested `interface` fields only when the nested values are absent. - Treat fallback metadata as installable only when the marketplace entry contributes metadata beyond bare `name` and `source`; existing missing-manifest behavior remains for metadata-free entries. - Read local plugin details from the already parsed fallback manifest, including fallback-declared app and MCP paths, instead of rereading only an on-disk manifest. - Pass fallback contents into `PluginStore`, which validates them and injects `.codex-plugin/plugin.json` into Store's existing atomic copy. Local marketplace source directories are never mutated, and the fallback path no longer needs an additional staging directory. - Keep Git source materialization unchanged; Git clones still use the existing marketplace source staging area before Store installation.
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
Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:
curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh
Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"
Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:
# 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.
