## Summary - detect WSL1 before Codex probes or invokes the Linux bubblewrap sandbox - fail early with a clear unsupported-operation message when a command would require bubblewrap on WSL1 - document that WSL2 follows the normal Linux bubblewrap path while WSL1 is unsupported ## Why Codex 0.115.0 made bubblewrap the default Linux sandbox. WSL1 cannot create the user namespaces that bubblewrap needs, so shell commands currently fail later with a raw bwrap namespace error. This makes the unsupported environment explicit and keeps non-bubblewrap paths unchanged. The WSL detection reads /proc/version, lets an explicit WSL<version> marker decide WSL1 vs WSL2+, and only treats a bare Microsoft marker as WSL1 when no explicit WSL version is present. addresses https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/16076 --------- Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>

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.
