Checking version of angular-cli that's installed?

Question

Is there a way to check the specific version of angular-cli that's installed globally on my machine? I'm in a Windows environment. *npm -v* and *node -v* only gives me the version of npm and node respectively, and I can't seem to find any commands with ng.

I'm trying to run a project that I'm working on, and it ran on an older version of angular-cli using npm. However, after installing other demo projects, my main project doesn't work anymore without uninstalling and reinstalling angular-cli at the specific version.

angular cli can report its version when you run it with the version flag

ng --version

If you want to check out the versions of your global npm modules, you could also type something like `npm list -global --depth 0` to your terminal. – fuma Jan 17 '17 at 12:36
@fuma's answer will work even if you don't have Angular CLI installed. But it is recommended. Install instructions: http://ngcli.github.io – Jacob Stamm Nov 09 '17 at 17:06

Downvoted since the OP specifically asks about the *global* installed package. @fuma's answer is correct – Inigo Feb 12 '18 at 18:58

I use CMD on windows 10. When I run `npm list -global --depth 0` it does NOT show angular. But When I execute `ng --version` it shows me the result of the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/44555618/3209523 – canbax Oct 07 '19 at 06:02

If you try `ng --version` with angular cli 14, you will get _"Error: You need to specify a command before moving on. Use '--help' to view the available commands."_. Please use `ng version` instead. – Jaime Menendez Jun 08 '22 at 02:04

For me, only "ng v" and "ng --version" work. Although "ng -v" doesn't give me errors, it doesn't show the version, but shows a list of help commands. – William Hou Aug 30 '19 at 19:30
@WilliamHou The same applies to me – Harold_Finch Oct 04 '21 at 12:52

for latest angular 14 only ng v works for me – Farukh Shaikh Aug 31 '22 at 13:23

UPDATE: 22 Feb 2023:

You can use an NGVM for that

npm i ngvm -g
ngvm local - will print you the project ng version
ngvm global - will give you the global ng version
ngvm latest - will give you the global ng version

If you type ngvm --help you will find out how to get all thee versions (local/global/latest) with one single command

ng --version or short ng v kinda correct answers, but there are some important details:

If you running ng v inside your angular cli project folder it will show your local cli version installed in your project (package.json)

If you running ng v outside your angular cli project folder it will always show the global cli version

You can use npm list -global to list all the component versions currently installed on your system.
For viewing specific lists at different levels use --depth.

e.g:

npm list -global --depth 0

DON'T USE ng --version because it provides a global system installed angular version.

Go to the package.json file, and check the "@angular/core" version. It is an actual project version.

In Command line we can check our installed ng version.

ng -v OR ng --version OR ng version

This will give you like this :

   / \   _ __   __ _ _   _| | __ _ _ __     / ___| |   |_ _|

why are there `...` after the angular. Shouldn't it show the version number – krv Apr 11 '18 at 12:30
Those `...` appears when you execute the command outside an angular application directory (global), if you execute the command within an angular application directory you will get the minimum angular version your angular application needs. – armadillo.mx Aug 15 '19 at 22:06

If you want to show version on your page, My version is Angular 12:

import { Component, VERSION} from '@angular/core';

then :

export class AppComponent {
  title = 'version-twelve';
  version = VERSION.full;
}

HTML:

<span>{{version}}</span>
