How to find out original IONIC version of an OLD project

I just need to clarify a bit these basic concepts because after searching the Web I still have not been clear.

I have been given a project based on IONIC to make modifications. I have to install everything necessary to create the original work environment.

Is there any way to find out what version of ionic was used and install that same?

Could installing the latest IONIC release directly lead to problems with a project presumably carried out in another previous IONIC version?

But I also have doubts and I have assumed that since I will have to install nodejs, cordova and ionic, it is still better to install the latest version of IONIC because it will be the one that best integrates with the installation of the latest version of node and Cordova that I must install.

I'm a little worried because I do not know what to install from an existing ionic project. I want to do the most correct thing to finally end up generating and publishing the APP.

Thank you (sorry my English)

With functional app

If you can run the app in the browser, open the developer tools (usually Ctrl+Shift+I) and type this into the prompt in the Console tab:

ionic.version

It will print the ionic version, like this:

<< ionic.version
<- "1.3.2"

Note that in newer versions the ionic object is spelled with a capital letter Ionic.

Without functional app

If you don't have a built working version, but have the sources, you can look at the package.json file that you should have it the root folder. Search for the ionic-angular package. It's version:

"ionic-angular": "3.9.2",

Should roughly match the Ionic used to build this.

Look, the browser console command even works on some production apps: example of querying ionic version
