Codex AppImage Builder 1.1

Highlights

  • Added bleeding-edge build mode.
  • Improved script output with a startup banner, countdown, and structured status logs.
  • Added MIT license coverage for this repo’s build script and documentation.
  • Added contributing guidelines.

Bleeding Edge Builds

Stable mode remains the default:

./build-codex-appimage.sh

To build with the newest Codex desktop archive listed in OpenAI’s appcast:

./build-codex-appimage.sh bleeding-edge

bleeding-edge only changes the Codex desktop archive. Electron, native module versions, and rebuild settings remain pinned by the script.

Notes

  • Stable mode uses the pinned Codex version and checksum.
  • Bleeding-edge mode fetches the latest archive URL from OpenAI’s appcast.
  • Because the latest archive changes over time, bleeding-edge mode skips the Codex archive checksum unless CODEX_SHA256 is provided manually.
  • Tested on Arch Linux.

Links

  • See README.md for install and usage instructions.
  • See CONTRIBUTING.md for contribution guidelines.

linux users deserves the software

Codex AppImage Builder 1.0

Initial release of the Codex AppImage builder.

This release provides a portable Linux build script that downloads the upstream Codex desktop archive, rebuilds the required native Node modules for Linux/Electron, downloads the Linux Electron runtime, and packages everything into an AppImage.

What It Does

  • Downloads the Codex desktop archive from OpenAI's CDN.
  • Extracts the Electron app payload.
  • Removes macOS-specific native artifacts.
  • Rebuilds better-sqlite3 and node-pty for Linux/Electron.
  • Downloads Electron Linux x64.
  • Builds Codex.AppDir.
  • Produces dist/OpenAI-Codex-x86_64.AppImage.

Tested

Tested on Arch Linux.

Fedora, Debian/Ubuntu, and NixOS dependency instructions are included in the README, but still need broader real-world testing.

Usage

git clone https://github.com/DatRatVS/codex-appimage.git
cd codex-appimage
./build-codex-appimage.sh

Output:

dist/OpenAI-Codex-x86_64.AppImage

Notes

The generated AppImage is built from Linux-compatible files and a Linux Electron runtime. Windows or macOS Codex installs cannot be converted directly.

Check OpenAI's terms and the licenses for bundled components before redistributing generated binaries.
