The most common way to "install" the Codex command-line interface is via OpenAI Developers npm install -g @openai/codex Initialization
in your terminal and sign in with your ChatGPT or OpenAI account. OpenAI Developers 2. VS Code Extension
To use Codex as a feature within your editor, you can install the official Codex IDE extension Visual Studio Code Extensions view and search for "OpenAI Codex" and sign in through your browser when prompted. 3. Standalone App (Windows/macOS)
OpenAI also offers a dedicated desktop app that acts as a command center for agentic coding: OpenAI Developers Download the for your OS. On Windows, it is recommended to Run as administrator to allow the agent proper permissions. It is also available on the Microsoft Store for Windows users.

Based on current technical documentation, "Codexini" is likely a variation or typo related to the OpenAI Codex ecosystem (specifically the Codex app-server or Codex UI tools).
Below is a complete installation guide for Codexapp, the most widely used interface for running OpenAI’s latest Codex agent workflows locally. 1. Prerequisites Ensure your environment meets these minimum requirements: Node.js: Version 18 or higher is required. codexini install
OpenAI Account: You need an active account with access to the Codex research preview or API.
Operating System: Supported on Windows (PowerShell), Linux, and Android (via Termux). 2. Installation Steps Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux)
The simplest way to install and run the interface is using npx, which executes the package without a permanent global install:
Open your terminal (PowerShell for Windows, Terminal for macOS/Linux). Run the following command: npx codexapp Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard
Authentication: The terminal will prompt you to log in. By default, it uses a secure browser-based login.
Access: Once started, open your browser to http://localhost:18923. Android (via Termux)
You can run Codex workflows on mobile by following these steps: Update packages: pkg update && pkg upgrade -y Install Node.js: pkg install nodejs -y Launch the app: npx codexapp While there is no widely documented official feature
Optimization: Disable battery optimization for Termux in Android settings to prevent the background process from being killed. 3. Advanced Configuration
Codex stores its local state and configuration in a hidden directory:
Location: Defaults to ~/.codex (the CODEX_HOME environment variable).
Config File: You can manually edit config.toml in this folder to adjust settings like memory modes or search preferences. Network Access:
To disable the default Cloudflare tunnel (used for remote access), use: npx codexapp --no-tunnel.
To skip the startup login check if you are already authenticated: npx codexapp --no-login. 4. Verification
To ensure your installation is fully functional, run a test command in the browser UI: It will download ~700MB of model weights into ~/
Try a slash command like /review or a file path query using @.
Check the terminal output for "Cloudflared tunnel" details if you need to access the UI from a different device on your network.

Step 2: Model Download – The Real Test
Codexini doesn’t ship models—you point it to a Hugging Face 🤗 repo. The first run is humbling:
codexini serve --model codeparrot/codepilot-350m
It will download ~700MB of model weights into ~/.cache/codexini/. On a slow connection, grab coffee. On a GPU-less laptop, lower your expectations—but it works, line by line.
Pro tip: Use quantized models (e.g., TheBloke/CodeLlama-7B-GGUF) to save RAM.
Pitfall 2: Case Sensitivity
By default, section and key names are case-sensitive. For case-insensitive lookups:
ini.get("display", "resolution") # Case-sensitive
ini.get_section_insensitive("Display") # Case-insensitive helper
Prerequisites
Before installing Codexini, ensure you have the following:
- A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
- A code editor or IDE of your choice
- A basic understanding of command-line interfaces
