Checking version of angular-cli that's installed?

angular cli can report its version when you run it with the version flag

ng --version

Execute:

ng v

or

ng --version

tell you the current angular cli version number

ng --version or short ng v kinda correct answers, but there are some important details:

If you running ng v inside your angular cli project folder it will show your local cli version installed in your project (package.json) If you running ng v outside your angular cli project folder it will always show the global cli version

You can use npm list -global to list all the component versions currently installed on your system.
For viewing specific lists at different levels use --depth.

e.g:

npm list -global --depth 0

Go to your folder path in cmd where your angular is installed and type ng --version it will show your angular version. Thanks.

DON'T USE ng --version because it provides a global system installed angular version.

Go to the package.json file, check the "@angular/core" version. It is an actual project version.

Simply just enter any of below in the command line,

ng --version OR ng v OR ng -v

The Output would be like,

Not only the Angular version but also the Node version is also mentioned there. I use Angular 6.

In Command line we can check our installed ng version.

ng -v OR ng --version OR ng version

This will give you like this :

 _                      _                 ____ _     ___

   / \   _ __   __ _ _   _| | __ _ _ __     / ___| |   |_ _|
  / △ \ | '_ \ / _` | | | | |/ _` | '__|   | |   | |    | |
 / ___ \| | | | (_| | |_| | | (_| | |      | |___| |___ | |
/_/   \_\_| |_|\__, |\__,_|_|\__,_|_|       \____|_____|___|
               |___/

Angular CLI: 1.6.5
Node: 8.0.0
OS: linux x64
Angular: 
...

Simply run the following command :

ng v

ng version or ng --version or ng v OR ng -v

You can use this 4 commands to check the which version of angular-cli installed in your machine.

Simple run the following commands:

ng --version 

OR

 ng -v

Output on terminal:

      / \   _ __   __ _ _   _| | __ _ _ __     / ___| |   |_ _|
   / △ \ | '_ \ / _` | | | | |/ _` | '__|   | |   | |    | |
  / ___ \| | | | (_| | |_| | | (_| | |      | |___| |___ | |
 /_/   \_\_| |_|\__, |\__,_|_|\__,_|_|       \____|_____|___|
            |___/

Please take a look at the above image.

If you want to show version on your page, My version is Angular 12:

import { Component, VERSION} from '@angular/core';

then :

export class AppComponent {
  title = 'version-twelve';
  version = VERSION.full;
}

HTML:

<span>{{version}}</span>

It works with ng version and it does not work with ng --version:
