How To Check Angular Version
- The Angular CLI version in the current folder may be found with the command ng —version (or ng -v). Run it outside of the Angular project to determine the version of Angular that is currently deployed worldwide.
- To get a list of the packages installed in the current folder, use the npm list —depth 0 commands. To discover the global version, add the -g (global) flag (npm list -g —depth 0).
- You can also open the package.json and look for the @angular/cli package version.
Using ng –version
It matters where you run the ng --version (also known as ng v).
The locally installed Angular CLI Version will be listed if you execute it inside an Angular project folder.
To determine the version of Angular deployed globally, run it outside the Angular folder.
ng --version
ng v
Output
Local Version
The ng v is being used here to run an Angular 8 project folder.
ng v

Using npm list
command npm list of packages installed in the current folder is provided by the npm list.
All packages installed worldwide are listed using the global flag -g (or --global).
The flag --depth 0, which only lists top-level packages, must also be included. In order to delve deeper and learn the version of dependencies, use --depth 1, --depth 2, etc.
npm list -g --depth 0
+-- @angular/cli@11.1.1 +-- angular-cli@1.0.0-beta.28.3 +-- bower@1.8.4 +-- grunt@1.0.3 +-- gulp@4.0.2 +-- iisexpress-proxy@1.4.4 +-- json-server@0.16.1 +-- lighthouse@6.0.0 +-- nativescript@6.1.2 +-- nodemon@2.0.2 +-- npm@6.13.7 +-- pnpm@4.8.0 +-- rxjs-tslint@0.1.7 +-- tns-android@3.4.3 +-- tslint@5.12.1 +-- typescript@3.5.3 `-- webpack@4.28.4
Local version
You will receive a list of the packages installed in the selected location. On an Angular 8 project folder, we run it.
npm list --depth 0
output

Using package.json
Look for the @angular/cli beneath the devDependencies node in the package.json file.
Here is an example of a package.json file
{
"name": "testAngular",
"version": "0.0.0",
"scripts": {
"ng": "ng",
"start": "ng serve",
"build": "ng build",
