…alid (#7668) The `otel` exporter example in `docs/config.md` is misleading and will cause the configuration parser to fail if copied verbatim. Summary ------- The example uses a TOML inline table but spreads the inline-table braces across multiple lines. TOML inline tables must be contained on a single line (`key = { a = 1, b = 2 }`); placing newlines inside the braces triggers a parse error in most TOML parsers and prevents Codex from starting. Reproduction ------------ 1. Paste the snippet below into `~/.codex/config.toml` (or your project config). 2. Run `codex` (or the command that loads the config). 3. The process will fail to start with a TOML parse error similar to: ```text Error loading config.toml: TOML parse error at line 55, column 27 | 55 | exporter = { otlp-http = { | ^ newlines are unsupported in inline tables, expected nothing ``` Problematic snippet (as currently shown in the docs) --------------------------------------------------- ```toml [otel] exporter = { otlp-http = { endpoint = "https://otel.example.com/v1/logs", protocol = "binary", headers = { "x-otlp-api-key" = "${OTLP_TOKEN}" } }} ``` Recommended fixes ------------------ ```toml [otel.exporter."otlp-http"] endpoint = "https://otel.example.com/v1/logs" protocol = "binary" [otel.exporter."otlp-http".headers] "x-otlp-api-key" = "${OTLP_TOKEN}" ``` Or, keep an inline table but write it on one line (valid but less readable): ```toml [otel] exporter = { "otlp-http" = { endpoint = "https://otel.example.com/v1/logs", protocol = "binary", headers = { "x-otlp-api-key" = "${OTLP_TOKEN}" } } } ```
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 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. If you use npm:
npm install -g @openai/codex
Alternatively, if you use Homebrew:
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started:
codex
If you're running into upgrade issues with Homebrew, see the FAQ entry on brew upgrade codex.
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.
