## Why [#23883](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/23883) moved the user-facing `--profile` flag onto profile v2 and [#23886](https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/23886) removed CLI forwarding for the legacy profile-v1 path. Core and TUI config persistence still carried `active_profile` and `ConfigEditsBuilder::with_profile`, which let later writes continue targeting legacy `[profiles.<name>]` tables after profile selection moved to profile-v2 config files. ## What - Remove legacy profile routing from [`ConfigEditsBuilder`](4b38e9c22e/codex-rs/core/src/config/edit.rs (L1064-L1294)), so core config edits no longer carry `with_profile` or infer `[profiles.*]` write targets from a `profile` key. - Drop `active_profile` plumbing from runtime `Config`, TUI startup/state, app-server config override forwarding, and Windows sandbox setup persistence. - Make app-server-backed TUI config edits use unscoped model, service-tier, feature, Auto-review, plan-mode, and Windows sandbox paths through [`tui/src/config_update.rs`](4b38e9c22e/codex-rs/tui/src/config_update.rs (L43-L112)). - Update config edit coverage so legacy `profile` state stays untouched by direct model writes, and remove tests whose only contract was the deleted profile-scoped persistence path. ## Testing - Not run locally.
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.
