To create an Angular project in our local system, we use Angular CLI. It is the best way to create a boilerplate that helps us to up and running with an Angular project.

Check the latest version of Angular.

If you have already created an angular project or old project using Angular CLI, then go inside that folder and type ng version command.

To check the version of Angular in a newly created project, go inside the recently create Angular project and type the following command.

ng version

The ng version outputs the Angular CLI version.

You can see that I am using Angular 10.0.2, and my Angular CLI version is 10.0.1.

Besides that, we can see all the library’s versions shipped with Angular as well as rxjs, typescript, and webpack.

You can also check the version of Angular CLI without going into the project folder, but in that instance, sometimes, the Angular version is undefined or empty.

Let’s say, I am in my root folder of the system and hit the **ng version **command then I will get the following output.

So, if you want to check the version of Angular CLI, then you don’t need to go inside any Angular project, but if you’re going to check the version of Angular, then you should go inside that project folder and then type the command. It will give you some extra information about other packages versions as well.

You can also type the** ng –version** command to check the Angular or Angular CLI version.
