## Summary This PR enables Codex to build and run on Android/Termux environments by conditionally gating the arboard clipboard dependency for Android targets. ## Key Changes - **Android Compatibility**: Gate arboard dependency for Android targets where clipboard access may be restricted - **Build Fixes**: Add missing tempfile::Builder import for image clipboard operations - **Code Cleanup**: Remove unnecessary parentheses to resolve formatting warnings ## Technical Details ### Clipboard Dependency Gating - Uses conditional compilation to exclude arboard on Android targets - Maintains full clipboard functionality on other platforms - Prevents build failures on Android/Termux where system clipboard access is limited ### Import Fixes - Adds missing tempfile::Builder import that was causing compilation errors - Ensures image clipboard operations work correctly when clipboard is available ## Platform Support - ✅ **Linux/macOS/Windows**: Full clipboard functionality maintained - ✅ **Android/Termux**: Builds successfully without clipboard dependency - ✅ **Other Unix platforms**: Unchanged behavior ## Testing - ✅ Builds successfully on Android/Termux - ✅ Maintains clipboard functionality on supported platforms - ✅ No regression in existing functionality This addresses the Android/Termux compatibility issues while keeping clipboard functionality intact for platforms that support it.
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.
