Title says it all. I googled around but only found methods using rpm, which is not installed on my mac.

The easiest way would be to run make --version. E.g., on my machine it outputs:

mureinik@computer ~$ make --version

To display the version, type the following in the terminal:

make -v

Which on my machine gave the following output:
