## Why The Python SDK depends on `openai-codex-cli-bin` runtime wheels being installable on the Linux hosts our users actually run. The release workflow currently tags the Linux runtime artifacts as `musllinux_*`, which makes pip ignore them on normal glibc distributions even though the bundled Rust executables are intended to run there. ## What changed - Tag the Linux runtime wheels as `manylinux_2_17_aarch64` and `manylinux_2_17_x86_64` instead of `musllinux_1_1_*`. - Keep the existing runtime wheel build and publish flow unchanged otherwise. ## Verification - Confirmed the wheel-tag issue against the PyPA platform-tag rules for `manylinux` vs `musllinux`. - This PR is now intentionally scoped to the tag correction only; the broader Python runtime release workflow has already landed on `main` through the merged stack. ## Follow-up After publishing the next alpha from this branch, install the SDK/runtime in a fresh glibc Linux environment and confirm pip resolves the tagged Linux wheel as expected.

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.
