# Why Managed requirements can already constrain sandbox policy choices, but Windows sandbox implementation selection was still resolved independently from those requirements. That left the TUI able to continue through the unelevated fallback even when an organization wants to require the elevated Windows sandbox implementation. # What - Add `[windows].allowed_sandbox_implementations` requirements support for the Windows `elevated` and `unelevated` implementations. - Apply that allowlist during core config resolution so disallowed configured or feature-selected Windows sandbox implementations fall back to an allowed implementation with the existing requirements warning path. - Reuse the existing TUI Windows setup prompts to block disallowed unelevated continuation, keep required elevated setup in front of the user, and refuse to persist a TUI-selected Windows sandbox mode that requirements disallow. # Semantics | Allowed | Selected | Effective | | --- | --- | --- | | `["elevated"]` | `unelevated` / unset | `elevated` | | `["unelevated"]` | `elevated` / unset | `unelevated` | | `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | `elevated` | `elevated` | | `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | `unelevated` | `unelevated` | | `["elevated", "unelevated"]` | unset | `elevated` | Availability is handled by interactive setup surfaces after allowlist resolution. If the effective elevated implementation is not ready, elevated-only requirements block on setup. When unelevated is also allowed, the UI may offer the existing unelevated fallback. ## TUI Screens If elevated setup is not already complete: ``` Your organization requires the default Codex agent sandbox to continue. Set it up to protect your files and control network access. Learn more <https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows> › 1. Set up default sandbox (requires Administrator permissions) 2. Quit ``` If admin setup fails under `["elevated"]`: ``` Couldn't set up your sandbox with Administrator permissions Your organization requires the default sandbox before Codex can continue. Learn more <https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows> › 1. Try setting up admin sandbox again 2. Quit ``` # Next Steps - extend the requirements/readout surface, such as `configRequirements/read`, so clients can inspect the loaded `[windows].allowed_sandbox_implementations` requirement instead of inferring it from Windows setup state - consider extending `windowsSandbox/readiness` as well - update the App startup guide, setup flow, and banner surfaces so an elevated-only requirement omits any continue-unelevated escape hatch and blocks startup until a permitted implementation is ready; - preserve the existing unelevated fallback path when requirements allow it, including the `["unelevated"]` case where elevated is disallowed
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.
