Previously, `CodexAuth` was defined as follows:d550fbf41a/codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs (L39-L46)But if you looked at its constructors, we had creation for `AuthMode::ApiKey` where `storage` was built using a nonsensical path (`PathBuf::new()`) and `auth_dot_json` was `None`:d550fbf41a/codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs (L212-L220)By comparison, when `AuthMode::ChatGPT` was used, `api_key` was always `None`:d550fbf41a/codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs (L665-L671)https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/10012 took things further because it introduced a new `ChatgptAuthTokens` variant to `AuthMode`, which is important in when invoking `account/login/start` via the app server, but most logic _internal_ to the app server should just reason about two `AuthMode` variants: `ApiKey` and `ChatGPT`. This PR tries to clean things up as follows: - `LoginAccountParams` and `AuthMode` in `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/` both continue to have the `ChatgptAuthTokens` variant, though it is used exclusively for the on-the-wire messaging. - `codex-rs/core/src/auth.rs` now has its own `AuthMode` enum, which only has two variants: `ApiKey` and `ChatGPT`. - `CodexAuth` has been changed from a struct to an enum. It is a disjoint union where each variant (`ApiKey`, `ChatGpt`, and `ChatGptAuthTokens`) have only the associated fields that make sense for that variant. --- [//]: # (BEGIN SAPLING FOOTER) Stack created with [Sapling](https://sapling-scm.com).

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 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.
