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? (ie not the REPL)
I want to get the version of node.js on the command line - I'm expecting to run a command like:

The command line for that is:
node -v
Or
node --version
Note:
If node -v
doesn't work, but nodejs -v
does, then something's not set up quite right on your system. See this other question for ways to fix it.
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.
Try nodejs
instead of just node
$ nodejs -v
v0.10.25
Node:
node --version
or node -v
npm:
npm --version
or npm -v
V8 engine version:
node -p process.versions.v8
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.
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',
.......
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
You can check if you have Node and Npm installed by typing:
$node --version && npm --version
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.
