## Summary Standalone installs should exercise the same canonical package archive layout that release builds produce, rather than unpacking npm platform packages and reconstructing a parallel install tree. This updates `install.sh` and `install.ps1` to prefer `codex-package-<target>.tar.gz` plus `codex-package_SHA256SUMS` introduced in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/23635, authenticate the checksum manifest against GitHub release metadata, verify the selected package archive against the authenticated manifest, and install the package archive directly. ## Compatibility Notes Package installs still leave a compatibility command at `current/codex` for managed daemon flows, while visible command shims point at `bin/codex` inside the package layout. Recent releases that predate package archives still publish per-platform npm artifacts, so both installers keep a legacy platform npm fallback for those versions and verify those archives against release metadata directly. Releases old enough to publish only the single root `codex-npm-<version>.tgz` archive are intentionally out of scope. The installers fail clearly when neither package archives nor per-platform npm archives are present. On Windows, the runtime helper lookups now recognize package-layout installs where `codex.exe` runs from `bin/`, so `codex-command-runner.exe` and `codex-windows-sandbox-setup.exe` resolve from the top-level `codex-resources/` directory. The direct-sibling and older sibling-resource fallbacks are preserved. ## Test plan - `sh -n scripts/install/install.sh` - `bash -n scripts/install/install.sh` - `pwsh -NoProfile -Command '$tokens=$null; $errors=$null; $null = [System.Management.Automation.Language.Parser]::ParseFile("scripts/install/install.ps1", [ref]$tokens, [ref]$errors); if ($errors.Count) { $errors | Format-List *; exit 1 }'` - `HOME="$home_dir" CODEX_HOME="$tmp_dir/codex-home" CODEX_INSTALL_DIR="$bin_dir" PATH="$bin_dir:$PATH" sh scripts/install/install.sh --release 0.125.0` - Verified the 0.125.0 isolated install leaves the visible command pointed at `current/codex` and includes the legacy `codex-resources/rg` payload. - `cargo test -p codex-windows-sandbox` - `just fix -p codex-windows-sandbox` --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

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.
