## Why `PermissionProfile` should only describe the per-command permissions we still want to grant dynamically. Keeping `MacOsSeatbeltProfileExtensions` in that surface forced extra macOS-only approval, protocol, schema, and TUI branches for a capability we no longer want to expose. ## What changed - Removed the macOS-specific permission-profile types from `codex-protocol`, the app-server v2 API, and the generated schema/TypeScript artifacts. - Deleted the core and sandboxing plumbing that threaded `MacOsSeatbeltProfileExtensions` through execution requests and seatbelt construction. - Simplified macOS seatbelt generation so it always includes the fixed read-only preferences allowlist instead of carrying a configurable profile extension. - Removed the macOS additional-permissions UI/docs/test coverage and deleted the obsolete macOS permission modules. - Tightened `request_permissions` intersection handling so explicitly empty requested read lists are preserved only when that field was actually granted, avoiding zero-grant responses being stored as active permissions.
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.
