Learn more about Codex CLI
Codex CLI is a terminal-based coding agent developed by OpenAI that operates locally on user machines. The tool is distributed as a Node.js package or Homebrew cask, with pre-compiled binaries available for multiple platforms including macOS (Apple Silicon and x86_64) and Linux (x86_64 and arm64). It authenticates through ChatGPT accounts or API keys, connecting to OpenAI's services while maintaining a local command-line interface. The tool is designed for developers who prefer terminal-based workflows and want to integrate AI coding assistance into their existing command-line development environment.
Local Terminal Interface
Runs directly in the terminal environment rather than requiring a web browser or IDE extension. Provides command-line access to OpenAI's coding capabilities.
Multiple Installation Methods
Available through npm, Homebrew, and direct binary downloads for various platforms. Supports both package manager installation and standalone executable deployment.
ChatGPT Plan Integration
Integrates with existing ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, Edu, and Enterprise plans. Allows users to access coding assistance through their existing subscriptions.
