How to find Laravel Framework Version

Laravel is a popular PHP framework. In this post, I will show how to check laravel version.

To find the Laravel Framework version, run

php artisan --version

Another way to find Laravel version is to check the file composer.lock present in the Laravel web root directory.

cat composer.lock

You will see something like the following

            "name": "laravel/framework",
            "version": "v6.1.0",
            "source": {
                "type": "git",
                "url": "https://github.com/laravel/framework.git",
                "reference": "a365bea7ff0dea9a50f5904be9e41656def9af4b"
            },

In this case, we are using Laravel version 6.1.0
