## Why Some Codex runtime distributions need helper executables beside the main bundled binary. Linux sandbox fallback needs a packaged `bwrap` when no suitable system `bwrap` is available, and Windows sandbox/elevation needs helper executables discoverable beside `codex.exe`. The checked-in `openai-codex-cli-bin` template already packages everything under `codex_cli_bin/bin/**`, but the staging script only copied the main Codex binary into that directory. This PR adds the generic staging primitive needed by release workflows to build complete platform runtime wheels without baking platform-specific helper names into the package template. ## What changed - Added repeatable `stage-runtime --resource-binary` support so release workflows can copy extra executables beside the bundled Codex binary. - Kept resource selection in workflow code, where the platform target is known. - Added tests that verify resource binaries are copied into the staged runtime package, that the wheel include config covers them, and that the CLI forwards repeated `--resource-binary` values. ## Testing - `uv run ruff check scripts/update_sdk_artifacts.py tests/test_artifact_workflow_and_binaries.py` - `uv run --extra dev pytest tests/test_artifact_workflow_and_binaries.py::test_stage_runtime_release_copies_resource_binaries tests/test_artifact_workflow_and_binaries.py::test_runtime_resource_binaries_are_included_by_wheel_config tests/test_artifact_workflow_and_binaries.py::test_stage_runtime_stages_binary_without_type_generation` Full `tests/test_artifact_workflow_and_binaries.py` still has unrelated schema-normalization drift in the local checkout. --------- Co-authored-by: Codex <noreply@openai.com>
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.
