What is the issue?
The page at https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/docs/install.md currently makes it sound like installing on Windows (without WSL) isn't an option, but the GitHub action does this and I found it just as easy to get started on Windows as Linux.
I think making it sound like Windows isn't supported might deter contributors from helping to fix Windows issues.
The only small tweak I needed to make to the codebase was in the justfile:
- remove
set positional-arguments - replace
$@with{{args}} - add
set windows-shell := ["powershell.exe", "-NoProfile", "-Command"]near the top
I'm happy to do a PR with both Windows install instructions and the justfile fix if desired.
Where did you find it?
