The debug output listed non-file-backed layers such as session flags and
MDM managed config, but it did not show their values. That made it
difficult to explain unexpected effective settings because users could
not inspect those layers on disk.
Now `/debug-config` might include output like this:
```
Config layer stack (lowest precedence first):
1. system (/etc/codex/config.toml) (enabled)
2. user (/Users/mbolin/.codex/config.toml) (enabled)
3. legacy managed_config.toml (mdm) (enabled)
MDM value:
# Production Codex configuration file.
[otel]
log_user_prompt = true
environment = "prod"
exporter = { otlp-http = {
endpoint = "https://example.com/otel",
protocol = "binary"
}}
```
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 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.
