## Why Published Python SDK builds depend on an exact `openai-codex-cli-bin` runtime package, but the release workflow did not publish that runtime package to PyPI. That left the SDK packaging story incomplete: release artifacts could produce Codex binaries, but Python users still needed a matching wheel carrying the platform-specific runtime and helper executables. This PR is stacked on #21787 so release jobs can include helper binaries in runtime wheels: Linux wheels include `bwrap` for sandbox fallback, and Windows wheels include the signed sandbox/elevation helpers beside `codex.exe`. ## What changed - Builds platform-specific `openai-codex-cli-bin` wheels from signed release binaries on macOS, Linux, and Windows release runners. - Packages Linux `bwrap` into musllinux runtime wheels. - Packages Windows sandbox helper executables into Windows runtime wheels. - Uploads runtime wheels as GitHub release assets and publishes them to PyPI using trusted publishing from the `pypi` GitHub environment. - Keeps the new Python runtime publish job non-blocking so failures need follow-up but do not fail the Rust release workflow. - Pins the PyPA publish action to the `v1.13.0` commit SHA for reproducible release publishing. - Documents that runtime wheels are platform wheels published through PyPI trusted publishing. ## Testing - `ruby -e 'require "yaml"; ARGV.each { |f| YAML.load_file(f); puts "ok #{f}" }' .github/workflows/rust-release.yml .github/workflows/rust-release-windows.yml` - `git diff --check` CI is the real end-to-end verification for the release workflow path. --------- 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.
