I'm trying to know what version of angular I have installed on my laptop but I do not get that information
Let's start with definitions.
Angular CLI : It is a tool to initialize, develop, automate and maintain Angular applications. p>
Angular : It is a development platform for creating mobile and desktop web applications using Typescript / JavaScript and others languages.
Taking into account the above Angular CLI is installed as a command ( ng
) to be used in the console and that speeds up the process of creating an Angular application.
Once you created your application with the ng create my-app
command in this case Angular CLI v6.2.5 will create an application with Angular v6.1.0
I recommend that you go through the Angular initiation tutorial:
And if you need more information about Angular CLI you can consult the following link:
Hello, how can you try using the command:
ng version
But you must run it within a directory that contains angular (Example some of your projects) since that command needs the packages.config
I hope I help you.
You can have several versions of Angular at the same time, or rather you can have more than one Angular project each with a different version , so it does not appear when using ng --version
but if the of Angular CLI which is an application that you have installed in Node , and has a certain version.
To know the Angular version used in an Angular application: go to the project folder and open the "package.json" file, search for "dependencies". You will find something like this:
"dependencies": {
"@agm/core": "^1.0.0-beta.2",
"@angular/animations": "^5.0.0",
"@angular/common": "^5.0.0",
"@angular/compiler": "^5.0.0",
"@angular/core": "^5.0.0",
"@angular/forms": "^5.0.0",
"@angular/http": "^5.0.0",
"@angular/platform-browser": "^5.0.0",
"@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^5.0.0",
"@angular/router": "^5.0.0",
"@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap": "^1.1.2",
"bootstrap": "^4.0.0-beta.2",
"core-js": "^2.4.1",
"ngx-bootstrap": "^2.0.0-beta.8",
"ngx-i18nsupport": "^0.9.0",
"node-sass": "^4.9.0",
"rxjs": "^5.5.2",
"zone.js": "^0.8.14"
},
With the previous query you have the most detailed information. Now, if you want to know the Angular version of the project, in a general way, in the same directory where this file is located, the command ng --version
now has access to the Angular configuration, of the current project, and now if, it will indicate the version:
