## Why `codex-rs/core/src/client_common.rs` still had a `tools` re-export module that forwarded `codex_tools` types back into `codex-core`. After the earlier extraction work in #16379, #16471, #16477, and #16481, that extra layer no longer adds value. Removing it keeps dependencies explicit: the `codex-core` modules that actually use `ToolSpec` and related types now depend on `codex_tools` directly instead of reaching through `client_common`. ## What Changed - removed the `client_common::tools` re-export module from `core/src/client_common.rs` - updated the remaining `codex-core` consumers to import `codex_tools` directly - adjusted the affected test code to reference `codex_tools::ResponsesApiTool` directly as well This is a mechanical cleanup only. It does not change tool behavior or runtime logic. ## Testing - `cargo test -p codex-core client_common::tests` - `cargo test -p codex-core tools::router::tests` - `cargo test -p codex-core tools::context::tests` - `cargo test -p codex-core tools::spec::tests`
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.
