How do you query installed nuget packages with the command line interface?

Question

I need to find the installed version of a package inside my CI build script using the nuget command line.

The "list" command returns ALL packages from the nuget.org feed as far as I can tell. I only want the locally installed packages.

I know how to do this with the VS nuget powershell console. Please do not answer "use get-package". I need to do it with the nuget.exe.

However if there's a way to use the nuget command from plain powershell outside of visual studio that would be acceptable.

nuget list -Source http://my.local.feed/ will list packages available in a local feed, and dir .\packages from within the top-level solution folder will show the packages installed under that location (where .\packages is the install location you have set for the solution).

From http://docs.nuget.org/docs/reference/command-line-reference#List_Command_Options and How do I specify the directory where NuGet packages are installed?

I guess `dir packageFolder` would sorta work, but packages is global to the whole project. I ended up manually parsing the packages.config. – Craig Quillen Feb 14 '14 at 19:10
Doesn't work if you use package restore enabled (which you usually should). – bitbonk Dec 21 '16 at 09:14
