Know the version of Laravel that I have installed

It’s very easy with artisan, like many other things in Laravel it makes life easier for you to know which version you have installed.

Navigate to the project folder, using the command line terminal. It can be your Laravel project that you have locally or with your SSH connection to the server where you want to ask about the Laravel version.

You will locate the “artisan” file. In that folder you run artisan commands by prepending “php”.

Exactly, to know the version of Laravel you have installed, you will execute this command:

php artisan –version

I have Laravel 5.1 installed and the command gives me the following output:

Laravel Framework version 5.1.0 (LTS)

I hope this has been able to help you clear up your doubts.
