This typically indicates that you have multiple copies of codex installed on your system. Try to find all copies and manually uninstall them, then install the new version.

Yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled it.

Re running Codex, it still prompts me that there is a new version update, which means that the version installed by brew is not the latest version?

Have you perhaps used npm to install codex at some point in the past? If you brew uninstall codex and then which codex, does it find a copy?

@charleskan, are you running codex on Linux or MacOS? I see "MacBook-Pro" in your screen shot, so I'm guessing it's the latter. Just want to confirm because I had a theory that this problem might be specific to Linux.

Hi @charleskan! Can you run which codex and paste the output here? Can you also paste the value under ~/.codex/version.json?

I had the same issue with multiple installs. I never used bun to install it, but it was located inside the .bun/bin directory.

It works after running bun remove -g @openai/codex && npm install -g @openai/codex.

This is what fixed my issue aswell.
