Start here

Install the official Codex CLI first.

Most clients trust the public OpenAI package, so start there. Install the official Codex CLI once, then use one of the generated CodexAPI.pro startup commands below to connect that trusted CLI to your wallet-backed API key.

Visible model for your next session GPT-5.5

npm install -g @openai/codex@latest

What this official install does

This installs the public OpenAI Codex CLI from npm. Run it once on the client computer after Node.js and npm are available. It does not spend CodexAPI.pro wallet credit by itself; it only installs the trusted CLI binary.

After install, copy the one-time setup-and-start command for your operating system. It saves the CodexAPI.pro API route and your wallet username into Codex's config file so future sessions can start with normal Codex commands.

Windows PowerShell setup

Install public OpenAI Codex CLI on Windows, then start CodexAPI.pro.

Follow the first setup box to install the official public Codex CLI, save CodexAPI.pro into the normal Windows Codex config, and start Codex automatically. After that, the normal codex and codex resume --search commands keep using your wallet-backed CodexAPI.pro route.

One-time Windows API setup and start

This is the first command box Windows users should run. It installs the public Codex CLI if needed, writes your CodexAPI.pro API route and wallet username into %USERPROFILE%\.codex\config.toml, backs up an existing config, and automatically starts Codex with search. After this, future sessions can start with codex, codex --search, or codex resume --search.

Open PowerShell as Administrator

Click Start, type PowerShell, right-click Windows PowerShell, then choose Run as administrator. Approve the Windows security prompt. This admin window is only needed for installing Node.js, npm, and Git.

Install required Windows dependencies

Copy and paste this whole block into the Administrator PowerShell window. It updates Winget sources, installs Node.js LTS, installs Git, and allows local user scripts to run. When it finishes, close PowerShell completely.

# Run PowerShell as Administrator for this dependency step.
winget source update
winget install --id OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS -e --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
winget install --id Git.Git -e --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned -Force
# Close PowerShell, open a new PowerShell window, then run the verification step.

Reopen PowerShell and verify tools

Open a normal PowerShell window, not necessarily as Administrator. Run this check to confirm Windows can now see Node.js, npm, and Git. Each command should print a version number. If any command is not found, restart Windows and try this verification step again.

node --version
npm --version
git --version

Install the official public Codex CLI

Run this in the normal PowerShell window. This installs the official OpenAI Codex CLI from npm and then prints the installed Codex version. Installing Codex does not spend CodexAPI.pro wallet credit.

npm install -g @openai/codex@0.130.0
codex --version

Reference: what the one-time setup writes

The first box above writes CodexAPI.pro into the normal Codex config file so Windows can use plain Codex commands later. Keep this reference only if support asks you to inspect the generated config.

Configuration is generated in the first Windows setup box above.

Future Windows start commands

After the first setup block has run successfully, use either command below. The saved config selects GPT-5.5, CodexAPI.pro, and your wallet username automatically.

Shown after signup or login

Resume your latest CodexAPI.pro Codex session

Use this when you come back to continue previous work. It points Codex back to the same isolated CodexAPI.pro profile and asks Codex to resume the latest stored session history with search enabled.

Shown after signup or login

Run a quick smoke test

Run this short non-interactive test after setup. It confirms the official Codex CLI can reach CodexAPI.pro, your API key is accepted, and your wallet-backed provider config is working before you begin a real project.

Shown after signup or login

Linux Instructions

Use these commands for Linux or WSL. The first setup box writes CodexAPI.pro and your wallet username into Codex's normal config file, starts Codex automatically, and lets future sessions begin with plain Codex commands.

Linux one-time API setup and start Shown after signup or login

This is the first Linux command box to use. It installs the official public Codex CLI if needed, backs up any existing ~/.codex/config.toml, writes CodexAPI.pro and your wallet username into the normal Codex config file, and then automatically starts codex --search. After this runs once, future sessions can start with plain codex, codex --search, or codex resume --search.

Official OpenAI Codex install command npm install -g @openai/codex@latest

Installs the official public OpenAI Codex CLI. This is the standard CLI package. After installing it, use the Public Codex startup command below so the official CLI talks to CodexAPI.pro with your wallet-backed API token.

Linux one-time setup command mirror Shown after signup or login

This mirrors the Linux setup-and-start command above for compatibility with older dashboard references. Use it once to save CodexAPI.pro into Codex's normal config.

Future Linux start commands Shown after signup or login

After setup, your wallet username and CodexAPI.pro route are saved. Start future sessions with codex or codex --search without redoing the setup block.

Public Codex smoke test command Shown after signup or login

Runs a small test request to confirm the CLI, CodexAPI.pro provider URL, API token, and wallet billing are all working. Use this before starting a large project or after moving the token to a new computer.

CodexAPI.pro-managed helper install npm install -g @embire2/codex@latest

This is optional and not the recommended first step. It installs the CodexAPI.pro helper CLI for clients who specifically want codexapi-codex convenience commands such as login, wallet status, project creation, and guided setup.

CodexAPI.pro-managed helper login

Starts the optional CodexAPI.pro helper login flow. Use it only if the client installed the helper package above. Official Codex users should use the startup commands instead.

CLI username Sign in to view

This is the dashboard and CodexAPI.pro-managed CLI username. Use it with the CodexAPI.pro login form or with codexapi-codex login.

CLI password Shown after signup or login

This password is shown after signup and after dashboard login so you can reconnect the CodexAPI.pro-managed CLI without creating a new API token.

Generated CLI passwords are shown immediately after signup and after dashboard login.

macOS one-time API setup and start

macOS Installation

Shown after signup or login

This is the first macOS command box to use. It installs Homebrew if needed, installs Node.js and Git, installs the official public Codex CLI, backs up any existing ~/.codex/config.toml, writes CodexAPI.pro and your wallet username into Codex's normal config file, and automatically starts codex --search.

Future macOS start commands Shown after signup or login

After setup, open Terminal in any project folder and use codex or codex --search. The saved config supplies the CodexAPI.pro API route and your wallet username automatically.

Future macOS resume commands Shown after signup or login

Use these when you return to an existing local Codex project. Resume uses the local Codex history on that Mac and the saved CodexAPI.pro config.

macOS smoke test command Shown after signup or login

Runs a short non-interactive request to prove the saved config, API token, provider URL, and wallet billing path are working before a large coding session.

VS Code setup

Use the official Codex IDE extension with CodexAPI.pro.

Confirmed: this is possible because the official Codex IDE extension uses the Codex CLI and reads the shared Codex configuration file. CodexAPI.pro works by writing a CodexAPI.pro model provider into ~/.codex/config.toml and making your dashboard username available as the API token.

What works

VS Code can run Codex against CodexAPI.pro when the official Codex extension can see the shared Codex config, including the CodexAPI.pro provider URL and your wallet username.

What not to use

Do not use a generic OpenAI-compatible VS Code extension for this setup. Use the official Codex IDE extension so approvals, project context, edits, and terminal workflows match Codex behavior.

Model shown to clients

The dashboard displays GPT-5.5. The provider URL stays https://codexapi.pro/v1, and billing stays attached to this wallet.

Install VS Code and the official Codex extension

Install Visual Studio Code, open Extensions, search for the official OpenAI Codex extension, and install it. If it is already installed, update it first. Open the project folder in VS Code after the configuration steps below are complete.

macOS, Linux, or WSL: write the shared Codex config

Run this in a terminal before opening VS Code. It writes the CodexAPI.pro provider into the normal Codex config path, saves your wallet username in that provider config, and enables full-access Codex permissions for trusted project folders.

Shown after signup or login

Windows PowerShell: write the shared Codex config

Run this in PowerShell. It writes %USERPROFILE%\.codex\config.toml, saves your wallet username in the CodexAPI.pro provider config, and avoids any per-session environment-variable setup. Close all VS Code windows afterwards so the extension can reload the new config.

Shown after signup or login

Restart VS Code and run a smoke test

Completely close VS Code, reopen the project folder, open the Codex sidebar, and ask Codex a small coding question. If the extension asks for an API key, paste your dashboard username. Use the terminal smoke test below if you want to confirm the same Codex config works before using the sidebar.
