Checking version of angular-cli that's installed?

So you're trying to figure out the specific version of angular-cli that's installed globally on your machine in a Windows environment? 🤔 Don't worry, we've got you covered!

You might have tried running npm -v and node -v, but those commands only give you the version of npm and node respectively. They won't help you find the version of angular-cli. And if you're new to angular-cli, it may seem a bit confusing because you can't find any commands with ng. 😓

But fear not! We have some easy solutions for you! 🙌

Solution 1: Use the Angular CLI command

One way to check the version of angular-cli installed globally is to use the ng version command. Here's what you need to do:

1. Open your Command Prompt or Terminal.

2. Run the following command: ng version.

This command will display the version of angular-cli installed on your machine. 🎉

Solution 2: Check package.json file

Another way to find the version of angular-cli is by checking the package.json file of your project. Here's how you can do it:

1. Navigate to your project's root directory using the Command Prompt or Terminal.

2. Open the package.json file in a text editor.

3. Look for the @angular/cli entry in the dependencies or devDependencies section.

4. The value next to @angular/cli represents the version of angular-cli being used in your project.

Solution 3: Use the npm command

If you prefer using the npm command, you can check the version of angular-cli globally installed by the following steps:

1. Open your Command Prompt or Terminal.

2. Run the following command: npm list -g @angular/cli.

This command will list all the globally installed packages, and you should be able to find the version of angular-cli in the output.

Now that you know how to check the version of angular-cli, you can confidently run your project or update it to the desired version. 🚀

But wait! 🛑 Before jumping into action, consider taking note of the current version and make sure it matches the version required by your project. If not, you might need to uninstall and reinstall angular-cli at the specific version your project requires.

Remember, keeping your dependencies up to date is crucial for the stability and performance of your projects! 😉
