Dependabot tried to automatically upgrade us to `actions/setup-node@v5`
in https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/3293, but it broke our CI. Note
this upgrade has breaking changes:
https://github.com/actions/setup-node/releases/tag/v5.0.0
I think the problem was that `v5` was correctly reading our
`packageManager` line here:
e2b3053b2b/package.json (L24)
and then tried to run `pnpm`, but couldn't because it wasn't available
yet. This PR:
- moves `pnpm/action-setup` before `actions/setup-node`
- drops `version` from our `pnpm/action-setup` step because it is not
necessary when it is specified in `package.json` (which it is in our
case), so leaving it here ran the risk of the two getting out of sync
- upgrades `actions/setup-node` from `v4` to `v5`
- deletes the two custom steps we had to enable Node.js caching since
`v5` claims to do this for us now
- adds `--frozen-lockfile` to our `pnpm install` invocation, which
seemed like something we should have always had there
OpenAI Codex CLI
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, see chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager. If you use npm:
npm install -g @openai/codex
Alternatively, if you use Homebrew:
brew install codex
Then simply run codex to get started:
codex
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.
