[node.js] 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)

By default node package is nodejs, so use

$ nodejs -v

or

$ nodejs --version 

You can make a link using

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

then u can use

$ node --version

or

$ node -v

Node:

node --version or node -v

npm:

npm --version or npm -v

V8 engine version:

node -p process.versions.v8

If you are windows user and using command line to check following versions then:

1. Check node version

   node -v

2. Check npm version

   npm -v

Repl Command to find the Nodejs Version

$node
>process.version
`v8.x`

One cool tip if you are using the Atom editor.

$ apm -v
apm  1.12.5
npm  3.10.5
node 4.4.5
python 2.7.12
git 2.7.4

It will return you not only the node version but also few other things.

open node.js command prompt
run this command

node -v

You can simply do

node --version

or short form would also do

node -v

If above commands does not work, you have done something wrong in installation, reinstall the node.js and try.

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.

find the installed node version.

$ node --version

or

 $ node -v

And if you want more information about installed node(i.e. node version,v8 version,platform,env variables info etc.)

then just do this.

$ node
> process
  process {
  title: 'node',
  version: 'v6.6.0',
  moduleLoadList: 
   [ 'Binding contextify',
     'Binding natives',
     'NativeModule events',
     'NativeModule util',
     'Binding uv',
     'NativeModule buffer',
     'Binding buffer',
     'Binding util',
     ...

where The process object is a global that provides information about, and control over, the current Node.js process.

On an Arm7 (armhf) device running Debian Stretch, I had to issue either of the following:

$ nodejs -v
$ nodejs -h

The following did not work:

$ node -v
$ node -h
$ apm -v

Hope this helps someone else.

Just type npm version in your command line and it will display all the version details about node, npm, v8 engine etc.

If you want to check in command prompt use node -v or node --version

v6.9.5

If u have node.exe then in node you can give.

>process
process {
  title: 'node',
  version: 'v6.9.5',
  .......

Try nodejs instead of just node

$ nodejs -v
v0.10.25
