Motivation: - Keep `codex app-server` protocol artifacts (TypeScript + JSON Schema) checked in for consumers (e.g. IDE integrations) and make changes reviewable. - Prevent drift between generated output (`codex app-server generate-ts` / `codex app-server generate-json-schema`) and what is vendored in the repo. What changed: - Vendor generated artifacts under `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/typescript/` and `codex-rs/app-server-protocol/schema/json/`. - Add `just write-app-server-schema` to fully regenerate fixtures (including deleting stale files). - Add a fixture sync test for `codex-app-server-protocol` to assert the vendored trees match freshly generated output. - Canonicalize JSON schema output (sorted object keys) for deterministic diffs. - Wire Bazel test data so remote tests can read the vendored fixtures.

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.
