A check that finds the Codex executable on your PATH, with your installation and account left unchanged.
About
A first session with Codex stalls before it starts if your terminal cannot find the program. This check looks for the Codex executable on your PATH, so you know whether Codex is reachable before you give it its first task.
It only looks: it does not change your installation or your account. If Codex is missing, use the official installer instructions for your platform, then run the check again.
It runs from the command line with Python 3.10 or later and goes with the Your first project with Codex guide. Provider accounts, model weights, GPU compute and hosting are not included.
Requirements

- Python 3.10+
- Operating systems

- Local use; related agent, model, and hosting services may require a separate account.
