There are two ways available to find the version of Laravel application installed on any system. You can either find it by running a command. If you face an issue with the command line, you can check Laravel version in files.
1. Command to Find Laravel Version
Open the terminal on your system. Now navigate to the web root directory of the Laravel application and then execute the following PHP command to check the Laravel version.
php artisan --version Laravel Framework 5.6.39
2. Check Laravel Version in Files
Sometimes you may not have access to the terminal of server-hosted Laravel application. Or you may not much familiar with the command line. In that case, you can simply view the Laravel version in the following file.
First navigation to Laravel web root directory.
vim ./vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Application.php
you can simply go to your lavarel folder and type following. you will be getting the version
php artisan –version
