Find the version of an installed npm package

npm list for local packages or npm list -g for globally installed packages.

You can find the version of a specific package by passing its name as an argument. For example, npm list grunt will result in:

projectName@projectVersion /path/to/project/folder└── grunt@0.4.1

Alternatively, you can just run npm list without passing a package name as an argument to see the versions of all your packages:

├─┬ cli-color@0.1.6 │ └── es5-ext@0.7.1 ├── coffee-script@1.3.3 ├── less@1.3.0 ├─┬ sentry@0.1.2 │ ├── file@0.2.1 │ └── underscore@1.3.3 └── uglify-js@1.2.6 

You can also add --depth=0 argument to list installed packages without their dependencies.

Another quick way of finding out what packages are installed locally and without their dependencies is to use:

npm list --depth=0

Which gives you something like

├── bower@0.8.6├── grunt@0.4.1├── grunt-bower-requirejs@0.4.3├── grunt-contrib-clean@0.4.1├── grunt-contrib-coffee@0.7.0├── grunt-contrib-copy@0.4.1├── grunt-contrib-imagemin@0.1.4├── grunt-contrib-jshint@0.1.1├── grunt-contrib-livereload@0.1.2├── grunt-contrib-requirejs@0.4.1├── grunt-regarde@0.1.1└── grunt-svgmin@0.1.0

Obviously, the same can be done globally with npm list -g --depth=0.

This method is clearer if you have installed a lot of packages.

To find out which packages need to be updated, you can use npm outdated -g --depth=0.

npm view <package> version - returns the latest available version on the package.

npm list --depth=0 - returns versions of all installed modules without dependencies.

npm list - returns versions of all modules and dependencies.

And lastly to get node version: node -v
