## Why Installing `@openai/codex` currently places a Dotslash `rg` manifest at `node_modules/@openai/codex/bin/rg`, even though the native optional dependency already ships the actual helper under `vendor/<target>/codex-path/rg`. The launcher prepends that `codex-path` directory, so the top-level `bin/rg` file is redundant in the npm install. The remaining direct consumers of the manifest are package-building paths: `scripts/codex_package/ripgrep.py` and `codex-cli/scripts/install_native_deps.py`. Keeping the manifest under `codex-cli/bin` makes it look like a shipped npm binary, so this moves it next to the package-builder code that owns it. The checked-in `@openai/codex` package metadata should likewise describe only the meta package payload; generated platform packages continue to publish `vendor`. ## What Changed - Moved the Dotslash ripgrep manifest from `codex-cli/bin/rg` to `scripts/codex_package/rg`. - Updated the package builder, npm native-artifact hydrator, README, and CLI help text to reference the new manifest location. - Stopped `codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py` from copying `rg` into the `@openai/codex` meta package. - Narrowed the checked-in meta package `files` whitelist to `bin/codex.js`. ## Verification - `python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts/codex_package -p "test_*.py"` - `python3 -m unittest discover -s codex-cli/scripts -p "test_*.py"` - `python3 -m py_compile codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py codex-cli/scripts/install_native_deps.py scripts/codex_package/ripgrep.py scripts/codex_package/cli.py scripts/stage_npm_packages.py` - `codex-cli/scripts/build_npm_package.py --package codex --version 0.0.0-test --pack-output <tmp>/codex-meta-no-vendor.tgz` - `tar -tf <tmp>/codex-meta-no-vendor.tgz` showed only `package/bin/codex.js`, `package/package.json`, and `package/README.md`. - Direct staging check showed `codex` uses `files: ["bin/codex.js"]` while `codex-darwin-arm64` still uses `files: ["vendor"]`. --- [//]: # (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.
