February 4, 2026Codex App replaces the terminal
Actually when setting up a new (Linux) system Codex is the first tool I am installing. I have a GitHub repo with all my documentation for my systems plus plenty of scripts configuring and installing everything I need. I then task Codex to do all of it and I am checking back after a while. Some days ago I had a weird issue with my NVIDIA driver (also on Linux) I first used Codex to collect all logged data, copied it to my Repo (created a new support folder there) I used AI agents to analyse the issue and my scripts involved around it. They found a bug/glitch within KDE Plasma most likely responsible in my setup for that. I asked them to adjust involved scripts plus increasing logging to have more information in case this will happen again. It hasn't happened again, the system is stable running. Codex totally changed my approach to how I handle systems and documentation. I truly love good and comprehensive documentation, but I never had such a complete documentary that I have now. Truly changing currently, I can just recommend. More on reddit.com

Hi @elis, that error is actually pointing somewhere specific. Codex is trying to create its local .codex\sqlite folder, and Windows is basically saying “nope” (permission denied). So it’s not really failing to install, it’s failing on first launch when setting up local storage. A couple quick things…
