How to check Windows version of Meteor.js

Question

I installed Meteor for Windows and want to know which version of Meteor I installed in order to decide whether to update it. How can I do that?

meteor update does not yet work on Windows.

meteor --version returns Unreleased (running from a checkout) message

Answer 1

If you installed the Windows version through MSI, you can look in the standard window of the Add / Remove Programs wizard to find out which version you have.

The version of Meteor for Windows that you use does not use a "warehouse", and therefore Meteor always uses the version of "none". There is an experimental version of Meteor for Windows that uses the warehouse available at: https://github.com/sdarnell/meteor/wiki/Windows

Answer 2

In the project folder on the command line try this ...

 meteor --version 

Answer 3

cd into your hidden .meteor folder and open the release file inside the folder, it will have a version number

$ cd.meteor
$ nano release

Answer 4

If you have access to the CLI Meteor, the meteor show meteor has an interesting conclusion. This is what I got:

 $ meteor show meteor Package: meteor@1.1.10 Maintainers: mdg Exports: Meteor This is an internal Meteor package. Recent versions: 1.1.5 March 18th, 2015 1.1.6 April 1st, 2015 1.1.7 September 22nd, 2015 1.1.9 September 29th, 2015 1.1.10 October 27th, 2015 installed Older and pre-release versions of meteor have been hidden. To see all 73 versions, run 'meteor show --show-all meteor'.

FYI, you can always check this in the browser with the Meteor.release command placed in the devtools console of your Meteor application page.
