## Summary - set `NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1` when Codex applies managed network proxy environment overrides - keep the Node opt-in in the proxy environment key set used by shell/runtime env handling - cover the new env var in the focused network proxy env test ## Why Codex already sets HTTP proxy environment variables for child processes when the managed network proxy is active. Node's built-in network behavior needs the `NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY` opt-in to honor those env vars, so Node-based skill scripts can otherwise skip the managed proxy path and fail under restricted network access. ## Validation - `just fmt` in `codex-rs` - `cargo test -p codex-network-proxy` in `codex-rs`
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.
