## Summary - preserve unknown `:special_path` tokens, including nested entries, so older Codex builds warn and ignore instead of failing config load - fail closed with a startup warning when a permissions profile has missing or empty filesystem entries instead of aborting profile compilation - normalize Windows verbatim paths like `\?\C:\...` before absolute-path validation while keeping explicit errors for truly invalid paths ## Testing - just fmt - cargo test -p codex-core permissions_profiles_allow - cargo test -p codex-core normalize_absolute_path_for_platform_simplifies_windows_verbatim_paths - cargo test -p codex-protocol unknown_special_paths_are_ignored_by_legacy_bridge - cargo clippy -p codex-core -p codex-protocol --all-targets -- -D warnings - cargo clean |

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.
