PR https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/14512 added an in-process app server and started to wire up the tui to use it. We were originally planning to modify the `tui` code in place, converting it to use the app server a bit at a time using a hybrid adapter. We've since decided to create an entirely new parallel `tui_app_server` implementation and do the conversion all at once but retain the existing `tui` while we work the bugs out of the new implementation. This PR undoes the changes to the `tui` made in the PR #14512 and restores the old initialization to its previous state. This allows us to modify the `tui_app_server` without the risk of regressing the old `tui` code. For example, we can start to remove support for all legacy core events, like the ones that PR https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/14892 needed to ignore. Testing: * I manually verified that the old `tui` starts and shuts down without a problem.
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.
