## Why
#21255 changed the Linux sandbox fallback so Codex can use a bundled
`codex-resources/bwrap` executable when no suitable system `bwrap` is
available. That lookup is relative to the native Codex executable
returned by
`std::env::current_exe()`, as implemented in
[`bundled_bwrap.rs`](9766d3d51c/codex-rs/linux-sandbox/src/bundled_bwrap.rs (L83-L93)).
The release already publishes a separate `bwrap` DotSlash output, but
the Linux `codex` DotSlash output still pointed at a single-binary
`.zst` payload. Running the `codex` DotSlash manifest only materializes
the native `codex` executable; it does not also create sibling files
from the separate `bwrap` manifest. The fallback path therefore needs
the Linux `codex` DotSlash artifact itself to include the real `bwrap`
executable at `codex-resources/bwrap`.
## What changed
- stage a Linux primary `codex-<target>-bundle.tar.zst` release artifact
containing `codex` and `codex-resources/bwrap`
- point the Linux `codex` DotSlash outputs at that bundle tarball
- leave the standalone `bwrap` DotSlash output in place for consumers
that want to fetch `bwrap` directly
## Verification
- `jq . .github/dotslash-config.json`
- Ruby YAML parse of `.github/workflows/rust-release.yml`
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.
