## Why The SDK package root should be the ergonomic public client API, not a dump of every generated app-server schema type. Generated models still need a supported import path, but callers should be able to tell which names are high-level SDK entrypoints and which names are protocol value models. ## What - Define a curated root `__all__` for clients, handles, input helpers, retry helpers, config, and public errors. - Add a `types` module as the supported home for generated app-server response, event, enum, and helper models. - Update docs and examples to import protocol/value models from the type module. - Add tests that lock root exports, type-module exports, star-import behavior, and example import hygiene. ## Stack 1. #21891 `[1/8]` Pin Python SDK runtime dependency 2. #21893 `[2/8]` Generate Python SDK types from pinned runtime 3. #21895 `[3/8]` Run Python SDK tests in CI 4. This PR `[4/8]` Define Python SDK public API surface 5. #21905 `[5/8]` Rename Python SDK package to `openai-codex` 6. #21910 `[6/8]` Add high-level Python SDK approval mode 7. #22014 `[7/8]` Add Python SDK app-server integration harness 8. #22021 `[8/8]` Add Python SDK Ruff formatting ## Verification - Added public API signature tests for root exports, `types` exports, and example imports. --------- 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.
