Node.js version on the command line? (not the REPL)

I want to get the version of Node.js on the command line. I'm expecting to run a command like:

node -version

but that doesn't work. Does anybody know what the command line would be? (i.e. not the REPL)


The command line for that is:

node -v

Or

node --version

Note:

If node -v doesn't work, but nodejs -v does, then something's not set up quite right on your system. See this other question for ways to fix it.


If you're referring to the shell command line, either of the following will work:

node -v

node --version

Just typing node version will cause node.js to attempt loading a module named version, which doesn't exist unless you like working with confusing module names.


Try nodejs instead of just node

$ nodejs -v
v0.10.25
