npm i -g @rickgetz/codex && codex-rick

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Forked from openai/codex. This fork is maintained by Rick Getz and keeps upstream attribution and licensing intact.

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 @rickgetz/codex

Then run codex-rick to start this fork. The upstream @openai/codex package can remain installed as codex for fallback use.

You can also go to the latest fork GitHub Release and download the Apple Silicon macOS binary.

This fork currently publishes:

• macOS
  • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (codex-aarch64-apple-darwin), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan

Run codex and select Sign in with ChatGPT. We recommend signing into your ChatGPT account to use Codex as part of your Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, or Enterprise plan. Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan.

You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires additional setup.
