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?

Solution 1:

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.

Solution 2:

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:

/**
 * @license AngularJS v1.0.6
 * (c) 2010-2012 Google, Inc. http://angularjs.org
 * License: MIT
 */

Solution 3:

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 :

Works for Angular 2+ Chrome browser

Firefox firebug

Solution 4:

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
