| ## Quickstart |
|
|
| ### Installing and running Codex CLI |
|
|
| Install globally with your preferred package manager: |
|
|
| ```shell |
| # Install using npm |
| npm install -g @openai/codex |
| ``` |
|
|
| ```shell |
| # Install using Homebrew |
| brew install --cask codex |
| ``` |
|
|
| Then simply run `codex` to get started. |
|

| <details> |
| <summary>You can also go to the <a href="https://github.com/openai/codex/releases/latest">latest GitHub Release</a> and download the appropriate binary for your platform.</summary> |
|
|
| 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` |
| - Linux |
| - x86_64: `codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz` |
| - arm64: `codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz` |
|
|
| 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. |

| ### 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, Team, Edu, or Enterprise plan. [Learn more about what's included in your ChatGPT plan](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11369540-codex-in-chatgpt). |
|
|
| You can also use Codex with an API key, but this requires [additional setup](https://developers.openai.com/codex/auth#sign-in-with-an-api-key). |
