SuperCodex installer

Install SuperCodex from the dashboard, not from random files.

The dashboard creates the OS-specific installer path for the signed-in workspace. SuperCodex runs beside official Codex, keeps the user's native tools, and routes model work through Luma Cloud.

Recommended path

Use the installer block in Luma Cloud App. It issues a short-lived ticket and builds the command or package link for that account.

1Sign in to Luma Cloud App.
2Open App -> API or the SuperCodex install block.
3Choose macOS Apple Silicon, macOS Intel, or Windows.
4Use the recommended package button, or copy the one-command installer from Advanced.
5Run the installer and keep the terminal open until it reports success or prints the log path.
Before install

Prerequisites

Keep the setup small. Do not ask customers to edit JSON or download unpublished artifacts by hand.

An active Luma Cloud account that can download SuperCodex.
Official Codex installed and signed in when you want shared threads, MCP/plugin discovery, dictation, or compact fallback.
Network access to the Luma Cloud app and API gateway.
macOS built-in curl/zsh or Windows PowerShell 5.1+. The installer handles its own runtime dependencies.

Installer lanes

Three command endpoints, one ticketed flow.

The raw endpoints are shown so support and docs stay precise. Customers normally copy these from the dashboard because the real command contains a one-time scit_ ticket.

Primary mac lane

macOS Apple Silicon

Terminal / zsh

Use this for M1, M2, M3, and M4 Macs.

Artifact-gated lane

macOS Intel

Terminal / zsh

Use only when the dashboard offers the Intel option for the current release.

Beta lane

Windows x64

PowerShell 5.1+

The installer keeps PowerShell open on failure and prints the log folder.

Boundary

What SuperCodex installs and what it leaves alone.

The installer is a Luma Cloud product path. It must not reroute official Codex, Codex OmniRoute, private shard URLs, or unrelated local bridge traffic.

Local runtime

SuperCodex runtime files and helper scripts under the user profile, without replacing the official Codex app.

Provider profile

An activated Luma Cloud profile at ~/.codex/supercodex/luma-cloud-provider.json with local-only file permissions.

Local bridge

A SuperCodex bridge on http://127.0.0.1:20447/v1 that forwards model requests to the public Luma Cloud gateway.

Battery

A menu-bar or tray quota indicator that reads /v1/quota about every 30 seconds.

Launch helpers

SuperCodex-scoped launch agents or shortcuts. Official Codex, Codex OmniRoute, and other routes stay separate.

Logs

Installer, bridge, battery, and launcher logs for support. Secrets should never be pasted into support tickets.

Platform notes

macOS and Windows have different first-run prompts.

These are expected OS prompts for a beta installer. The dashboard guide should keep them visible so users do not stop halfway through setup.

macOS

Apple Silicon is the primary Mac path; Intel is available only when the dashboard offers the current x64 artifact.

Recommended

Download the .pkg from the dashboard, open it, and follow the installer prompts.

Gatekeeper

If macOS blocks the package, open System Settings -> Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway for SuperCodex.

Keychain

On first launch, macOS may ask for the Mac login password. Choose Always Allow when reusing the official Codex sign-in.

Logs

Collect ~/.supercodex/logs, especially one-command-install.log, installer-runtime.log, bridge/, battery/, and launch-supercodex.log.

Intel

Use the x64 lane only when the current dashboard release offers it. Apple Silicon is the primary macOS path.

Repair

Re-run the current dashboard installer command. It refreshes the runtime and preserves the local Node runtime where possible.

Windows

Windows x64 uses a separate SuperCodex Electron duplicate and leaves the official Microsoft Store Codex package alone.

Recommended

Download the Windows setup from the dashboard or copy the PowerShell command from Advanced.

Official Codex

Install official Codex from the Microsoft Store first. SuperCodex duplicates and patches its own copy; it does not patch the Store package.

SmartScreen

If Windows shows a blue warning, choose More info, then Run anyway.

Paths

Default logs live under %LOCALAPPDATA%\LumaCloud\SuperCodex\logs. Profiles with spaces may use a printed ProgramData path.

Shortcuts

The installer creates SuperCodex desktop/start-menu launchers and a startup shortcut for the battery indicator.

Status

Windows x64 is documented as the beta lane. Keep the PowerShell window and logs if a setup step fails.

After install

Confirm the bridge, battery, and model path.

A successful install should make the user-visible state boring: app opens, battery shows quota, local bridge responds, and model requests enter Luma Cloud through the public gateway.

Quota battery

The menu-bar or tray indicator should show the current weekly quota and link back to the dashboard.

Official boundary

Official Codex remains official. SuperCodex uses its own Luma bridge and profile.

Provider

luma-cloud uses gpt-5.5-xhigh by default; smoke with gpt-5.5-medium when debugging.

Updates

The battery exposes Update only when a signed SuperCodex update is available. Reinstalling from the dashboard is the repair path.

Troubleshooting

Fast checks before escalating.

Most install failures are session, ticket, OS prompt, or local bridge state. Collect logs before changing account or runtime state.

Install command returns 401

Sign in to the dashboard again, then copy a fresh command. The command endpoint is session-gated.

Ticket expired or already used

Copy a new command. The scit_ ticket is short-lived and single-use by design.

Package is blocked by macOS or Windows

Use Open Anyway on macOS or More info -> Run anyway on Windows, or use the terminal command path.

Bridge is not responding

Restart SuperCodex. On macOS, the bridge LaunchAgent keeps retrying; logs are under ~/.supercodex/logs/bridge.

Quota battery is missing

Open SuperCodex once, then check the menu bar or tray overflow. The battery starts separately from the desktop app.

Wrong endpoint in a client

Use https://api.lumaos.cloud/v1. Do not paste localhost, bridge, shard, VPS, or OmniRoute URLs into customer tools.

Windows profile path has spaces

Use the printed installer root and log folder. Do not move files manually after setup.

Support request

Send OS, architecture, app version, the visible request id if any, and the log folder. Do not send API keys or cookies.

Truth gate

Do not claim a platform lane is ready if the dashboard does not currently expose its artifact or command.

The installer command depends on a valid session, download entitlement, ticket store, and release artifact availability.

Windows x64 has scripts and customer docs, but support should still request logs and avoid promising full parity until the current build is smoke-tested on a clean Windows machine.

Related setup docs

Use these when the user wants external CLI/IDE keys instead of the managed SuperCodex desktop path.

Need a command shape without a real ticket?

The macOS command pipes the dashboard script into zsh with LUMA_CLOUD_INSTALL_TICKET, arch, app URL, and API base URL. Windows sets the same variables in PowerShell before running the installer script.
