Codex Linux Launcher (Unofficial)

Unofficial Linux launcher tooling for running Codex on Linux. This repository is for developers who want a practical local Linux launcher flow without manually unpacking and patching the desktop app each time.

Quick start:

git clone https://github.com/nassimna/codex-launcher.git
cd codex-launcher
./linux/install-codex-linux.sh

Linux install and run

git clone https://github.com/nassimna/codex-launcher.git codex-launcher
cd codex-launcher
chmod +x linux/install-codex-linux.sh
./linux/install-codex-linux.sh

Run after install:

~/.local/share/openai-codex-linux/run-codex.sh

Stable update command:

~/.local/bin/codex-linux-update

If zenity or kdialog is installed, the generated Linux launcher can also show an Update button before app startup when a newer Codex desktop build is available.

Optional one-liner installer:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nassimna/codex-launcher/main/linux/install-codex-linux.sh | bash

Direct bridge runs are still supported for debugging and local patch work:

./linux/codex-linux-bridge.sh
