Node.js version on the command line? (not the REPL)

Question

Node.js version on the command line? (not the REPL)

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)

node.js
command-line

Answer 1

The command line for that is:

node -v

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Try nodejs instead of just node

$ nodejs -v
v0.10.25
