Despite good spacing between queued messages and assistant message text: <img width="462" height="322" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-12 at 4 54 50 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e8b46252-0b33-40d2-b431-cb73b9a3bd2e" /> Codex has confusing spacing between queued messages and shimmering status text (making the queued message seem like a sub-item of the shimmering status text) <img width="615" height="217" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-12 at 4 54 18 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ee5e6095-8fe9-4863-88d2-10472cab8bd6" /> This PR changes the spacing between the queued message(s) and shimmering status text to make it less confusing: <img width="440" height="240" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-13 at 11 20 36 AM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/02dcc690-cbe9-4943-87de-c7300ef51120" /> While working on the status/queued spacing change, we noticed two paste‑burst tests were timing‑sensitive and could fail on slower CI. We added a small test‑only helper to keep the paste‑burst state active and refreshed during these tests. This removes dependence on tight timing and makes the tests deterministic without affecting runtime behavior.
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:
# 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.
