Use one of these commands in the terminal  with the Angular CLI installed already     ng --version   or   ng v  But note that depending on the folder you are in  you will get different results  If you are NOT in an angular project folder  then will see a result like this with no clearly stated Angular  version line  unless referring to the angular core in the package block  as the version     Angular CLI  11 0 4 Node  14 15 1 OS  win32 x64  Angular      Ivy Workspace   Package                      Version ------------------------------------------------------  angular-devkit architect    0 1100 4  cli-only   angular-devkit core         11 0 4  cli-only   angular-devkit schematics   11 0 4  cli-only   schematics angular          11 0 4  cli-only   schematics update           0 1100 4  cli-only   And if you run the command IN an angular project folder  you will see a similar result like this with the Angular  8 2 14 clearly stated  plus some dots   Angular CLI  8 3 29 Node  14 15 1 OS  win32 x64 Angular  8 2 14     core  Package                             Version -------------------------------------------------------------  angular-devkit architect           0 803 29  angular-devkit core                8 3 29  angular-devkit schematics          8 3 29  angular cli                        8 3 29  angular common                     2 4 10  angular compiler                   2 4 10  angular compiler-cli               2 4 10  angular forms                      2 4 10  angular http                       2 4 10  angular platform-browser           2 4 10  angular router                     3 4 10

In Command line we can check our installed ng version   ng -v OR ng --version OR ng version   This will give you like this                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Angular CLI  1 6 5 Node  8 0 0 OS  linux x64 Angular

my 2 cents  in Angular 9  didn t check older versions  you can find angular version in root div attributes and this is how I show current version in app-root component  extract and save it in my Global s for use in other components   import   Component  ElementRef   from   angular core         Component     selector   app-root     templateUrl    lt div gt       lt h1 gt TestApp   NetCore3 1   PostgreSql 12   Angular   ngVersion   lt  h1 gt   lt  div gt             export class AppComponent     ngVersion  string    constructor private router  Router  private el  ElementRef                       read ng-verion and save it in Global s     Global ngVersion   this el nativeElement getAttribute  ng-version        this ngVersion   Global ngVersion substring 0  1

I think the answer given by D  Squire was accurate  but possibly only a tad vague   If you change directories to a project and then type ng --version  it will display the angular version in the project   If done from a default directory  not within a project   you will only get the Angular CLI version  which is probably not what you are looking for and will give the output shown by Vik2696      cd my-project   ng --version      done within project directory  Angular CLI  1 6 8 Node  8 9 4 OS  win32 x64 Angular  5 2 5     animations  common  compiler  compiler-cli  core  forms     http  language-service  platform-browser     platform-browser-dynamic  router   angular cli  1 6 8  angular-devkit build-optimizer  0 0 42  angular-devkit core  0 0 29  angular-devkit schematics  0 0 52  ngtools json-schema  1 1 0  ngtools webpack  1 9 8  schematics angular  0 1 17 typescript  2 5 3 webpack  3 10 0

ng version   You installed angular cli globally  -g in the command   This means that you can type ng version into your command prompt  It may be more precise to do this when your command prompt is not within a npm controlled directory  you should type this in within directory you typed ng new myapp    A note to those who got here from Google  ng version will let you know which  coarse  version of Angular is referenced by the current directory   e g  This directory appears to have angular 4 x   4 3 0  installed    angular cli  1 2 1 node  8 11 1 os  win32 x64  angular common  4 3 0  angular compiler  4 3 0  angular core  4 3 0  angular forms  4 3 0  angular http  4 3 0  angular platform-browser  4 3 0  angular platform-browser-dynamic  4 3 0  angular router  4 3 0  angular cli  1 2 1  angular compiler-cli  4 3 0   If you are not within a directory which has a packages config  then you will get Angular

Angular CLI ng v does output few more thing than just the version   If you only want the version from it the you can add pipe grep and filter for angular like   ng v   grep  Angular     OUTPUT   Angular         lt -- VERSION   For this  I have an alias which is  alias ngv  ng v   grep  Angular      Then just use ngv
