## Why The Codex package builder should produce a complete package without requiring callers to pre-populate `rg` under `codex-cli/vendor` or have `dotslash` installed on `PATH`. The repo already tracks the authoritative DotSlash manifest in `codex-cli/bin/rg`, so the builder can read that metadata directly and fetch the correct ripgrep archive for the target it is packaging. ## What changed - Added `scripts/codex_package/ripgrep.py` to parse `codex-cli/bin/rg` after stripping the shebang, select the target platform entry, download the configured artifact, and verify the recorded size and SHA-256 digest. - Added a cache under `$TMPDIR/codex-package/<target>-rg` so verified archives can be reused without fetching again. - Extracted `rg`/`rg.exe` from `tar.gz` and `zip` artifacts into the package-builder cache, then copied that into `codex-path` through the existing package layout flow. - Kept `--rg-bin` as an explicit local override for offline tests and unusual local workflows. - Documented the default `rg` fetch/cache behavior in `scripts/codex_package/README.md`. ## Verification - Ran wrapper/module syntax compilation. - Ran `scripts/build_codex_package.py --help` from `/private/tmp`. - Ran a local manifest fetch test covering shebang-stripped manifest parsing, `tar.gz` extraction, `zip` extraction, size/SHA-256 verification, and cache reuse after deleting the original source archives. - Ran fake-cargo package/archive builds for macOS, Linux, and Windows target layouts with `--rg-bin`, including an assertion that generated tar archives contain no duplicate member names. --- [//]: # (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 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.
