Node.js projects tend to accumulate dependencies fast. You’ll also end up with packages installed globally. At some point, you’ll want to know which version of what is actually installed.

There’s a single npm command that handles this, and you can use it three ways:

  • To see globally installed package versions: npm list -g
  • To see all package versions for the current project: npm list
  • To check a specific package version: npm list [package-name]

Each returns the relevant package information.
