## Why The standalone `codex-app-server` binary already routed a `CliConfigOverrides` value into app-server startup, but its own clap args did not expose the shared `-c/--config` option. That meant `codex-app-server -c key=value` was rejected before the existing config override path could run, unlike the main `codex` CLI. ## What Changed - Flatten `CliConfigOverrides` into `AppServerArgs` in `codex-rs/app-server/src/main.rs`. - Pass parsed overrides to `run_main_with_transport_options` instead of always using `CliConfigOverrides::default()`. - Add a binary parser test covering both `-c` and `--config` for the standalone app-server. ## Verification - `just test -p codex-app-server app_server_accepts_cli_config_overrides` The broader `just test -p codex-app-server` run was also attempted. It compiled and ran 812 tests, with 796 passing, but failed in this local sandbox on unrelated `sandbox-exec: sandbox_apply: Operation not permitted` command-exec/turn integration paths and a skills watcher timeout.
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.
