## Summary - Keep the preferred ChatGPT login callback port `1455` first. - Preserve the existing `/cancel` recovery for stale Codex login servers. - Fall back to the registered localhost callback port `1457` when `1455` remains unavailable. ## Why Cursor and Codex Desktop both use the ChatGPT account login callback server. On Windows, Cursor can already be listening on `127.0.0.1:1455` / `[::1]:1455`, causing Codex Desktop sign-in to fail with: `Local callback port 1455 is already in use on this machine.` Codex already attempted to cancel a stale Codex login server on that port, but if the listener does not release the port, the old behavior was to fail. The new behavior falls back to `1457`, which matches the fixed redirect URI being registered server-side in `openai/openai#863817`. This keeps the OAuth `redirect_uri` inside Hydra's exact allow-list instead of choosing an arbitrary ephemeral port. ## Validation - `just fmt` - `cargo test -p codex-login` - `git diff --check HEAD~1..HEAD`
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.
Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan
Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.
You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
