## Description Add requirements.toml support for `allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["user", "guardian_subagent"]`, so admins can now restrict the use of guardian mode. Note: If a user sets a reviewer that isn’t allowed by requirements.toml, config loading falls back to the first allowed reviewer and emits a startup warning. The table below describes the possible admin controls. | Admin intent | `requirements.toml` | User `config.toml` | End result | |---|---|---|---| | Leave Guardian optional | omit `allowed_approvals_reviewers` or set `["user", "guardian_subagent"]` | user chooses `approvals_reviewer = "user"` or `"guardian_subagent"` | Guardian off for `user`, on for `guardian_subagent` + `approval_policy = "on-request"` | | Force Guardian off | `allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["user"]` | any user value | Effective reviewer is `user`; Guardian off | | Force Guardian on | `allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["guardian_subagent"]` and usually `allowed_approval_policies = ["on-request"]` | any user reviewer value; user should also have `approval_policy = "on-request"` unless policy is forced | Effective reviewer is `guardian_subagent`; Guardian on when effective approval policy is `on-request` | | Allow both, but default to manual if user does nothing | `allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["user", "guardian_subagent"]` | omit `approvals_reviewer` | Effective reviewer is `user`; Guardian off | | Allow both, and user explicitly opts into Guardian | `allowed_approvals_reviewers = ["user", "guardian_subagent"]` | `approvals_reviewer = "guardian_subagent"` and `approval_policy = "on-request"` | Guardian on | | Invalid admin config | `allowed_approvals_reviewers = []` | anything | Config load error |
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.
