How can I check which version of Angular I'm using?

How can I tell which version of Angular I am using?

I have tried:

angular --version
angular --v
angular -version
angular -v

but get -bash: angular: command not found

I know by yeoman --version that I am using 0.9.6

But how do get the angularjs version?

1. ng --version (For checking Installed Angular Version in system)

2. npm --version (For checking Installed NPM Version in system) 

3. node --version (For checking Installed Node Version in system)

For AngularJS - Use `angular.version`

console.log(angular.version);

<script src="//unpkg.com/angular/angular.js"></script>

You can also check it by inspecting the elements on the page:

press F12 to open Browser's developer tools.
Inspect an Element.
Expand Body
You will see the version of Angular, like the following:

ng-version="4.3.6"

Same like above answer, you can check in browser by inspecting element, if it is AngularJS we can see something like below.

The ng-app directive tells AngularJS that this is the root element of the AngularJS application.

All AngularJS applications must have a root element.

If you are using angular-cli, then you can check it easily by typing

ng -v

or ng v in Angular 8, in Terminal or Bash. Note: Run the command within the project directory.

You should get something like this:

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.24
node: 7.4.0
os: darwin x64
@angular/common: 2.4.3
@angular/compiler: 2.4.3
@angular/core: 2.4.3
@angular/forms: 2.4.3
@angular/http: 2.4.3
@angular/platform-browser: 2.4.3
@angular/platform-browser-dynamic: 2.4.3
@angular/router: 3.4.3
@angular/compiler-cli: 2.4.3

Another way would be to import VERSION constant from @angular/core and then dumping to console with:

console.log(VERSION.full); //5.2.11

Works in:

Angular 8 See docs
Angular 7 See docs
Angular 6 See docs.
Angular 5 See docs
Angular 4 See docs

Not sure about Angular 2 and 3. (if someone could test that; pages are not available)

For AngularJS 1.x use angular.version:

console.log(angular.version); //1.7.4

Edit: When this answer was written, there was only AngularJS 1.x. Look in the answers below for Angular versions >= 2.

AngularJS does not have a command line tool.

You can get the version number from the JavaScript file itself.

Header of the current angular.js:

/**

 * (c) 2010-2012 Google, Inc. http://angularjs.org

For Angular 1 or 2 (but not for Angular 4+):

You can also open the console and go to the element tab on the developer tools of whatever browser you use.

Type angular.version to access the Javascript object that holds angular version.

For Angular 4+ There is are the number of ways as listed below :

Write below code in the command prompt/or in the terminal in the VS Code.(up to 3)

ng version or ng --version (Find the image for the reference)

ng v

ng -v

In the terminal you can find the angular version as shown in the attached image :

You can also open the console and go to the element tab on the developer tools of whatever browser you use. As displayed in the below image :

Find the package.json file, You will find all the installed dependencies and their version.

If you are using VS Code editor .

Go to Explorer panel on left side -> find package.json & open it -> under dependencies find @angular/core.

This is your angular version as core is the main feature

There are multiple ways:

You may verify it from your package.json file
You use the following command:

ng --version

The command above will result in the following output:

Angular CLI: 7.0.3

Node: 9.4.0

OS: darwin x64

Angular: 7.0.1

... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms

... http, language-service, platform-browser

... platform-browser-dynamic, router

Package Version

@angular-devkit/architect 0.10.3

@angular-devkit/build-angular 0.10.3

@angular-devkit/build-optimizer 0.10.3

@angular-devkit/build-webpack 0.10.3

@angular-devkit/core 7.0.3

@angular-devkit/schematics 7.0.3

@angular/cli 7.0.3

@ngtools/webpack 7.0.3

@schematics/angular 7.0.3

@schematics/update 0.10.3

rxjs 6.3.3

typescript 3.1.4

webpack 4.19.1

So, the version of Angular, Angular CLI, Node and many other packages can be verified from here.

For Angular 2+, in any modern browser having developper tools (F12) you can inspect the top level application tag.

For Internet Explorer 11 or Edge you can find information here :

For Angular 1 or 2 (but not for Angular 4+) :

you can also open the console on the developer tools of whatever browser you use and type angular.version to access the Javascript object that holds angular version.

Very useful when the script is minified with no header comment.

just go to your angular project directory via terminal and ng -v give all information like this

Angular CLI: 1.7.4
Node: 8.11.1
OS: linux x64
Angular: 5.2.11
... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... http, language-service, platform-browser
... platform-browser-dynamic, router

@angular/cli: 1.7.4
@angular-devkit/build-optimizer: 0.3.2
@angular-devkit/core: 0.3.2
@angular-devkit/schematics: 0.3.2
@ngtools/json-schema: 1.2.0
@ngtools/webpack: 1.10.2
@schematics/angular: 0.3.2
@schematics/package-update: 0.3.2
typescript: 2.5.3
webpack: 3.11.0

If you check ng-v outside angular project directoty then it will show only angular-cli version.

On your project folder, open the command terminal and type

ng -v

it will give you a list of items, in that you will be able to see the angular version. See the screenshot.

You could also check your package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/common": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/core": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/forms": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/http": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^5.0.0",
    "@angular/router": "^5.0.0",
  }

(The caret ^ will update you to the most recent major version (the first number). ^4.3.0 will match any 4.x.x release including 4.4.0, but will hold off on 5.0.0. The tilde ~ matches the most recent minor version (the middle number). ~4.3.0 will match all 4.3.x versions, but will miss 4.4.0.)

To Angular 4, many of the options no longer work. Update July 2017 Two posibilities:

1) The simplest one is to open the package.json of our project and to check the versions used, among them the one of Angular.

2) After executing ng serve, we open the inspector of elements of the explorer that we use and we can observe the version as in the following image.

In the browser's developer console (press F12 to open it), you can type the following,

angular.version.full

it will give you the full version, e.g. (depending on your current version). [It actually gets the full property of angular.version object.]

"1.4.3"

So, to see the full object, if you type

angular.version

It will give you the full version object containing version information like full, major, minor and also the codeName, e.g.

Object {full: "1.4.3", major: 1, minor: 4, dot: 3, codeName: "foam-acceleration"}
