The recent release broke, codex suggested this as the fix Source failure: https://github.com/openai/codex/actions/runs/24362949066/job/71147202092 Probably from https://github.com/openai/codex/commit/ac82443d073f7f9a2248bad51bae2fa424ef4946 For why it got in: ``` The relevant setup: .github/workflows/rust-ci.yml (line 1) runs on PRs, but for codex-rs it only does: cargo fmt --check cargo shear argument-comment lint via Bazel no cargo check, no cargo clippy over the workspace, no cargo test over codex-tui .github/workflows/rust-ci-full.yml (line 1) runs on pushes to main and branches matching **full-ci**. That one does compile TUI because: codex-rs/Cargo.toml includes "tui" as a workspace member lint_build runs cargo clippy --target ... --tests --profile ... the matrix includes both dev and release profiles tests runs cargo nextest run ..., but only dev-profile tests Release CI also compiles it indirectly. .github/workflows/rust-release.yml (line 235) builds --bin codex, and cli/Cargo.toml (line 46) depends on codex-tui. ``` Codex tested locally with `cargo check -p codex-tui --release` and was able to repro, and verified that this fixed it
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.
