How To Check Magento 2 Version

In this post, I will guide you on How To Check Magento 2 Version. Check the exact Magento version you are running.

Magento is one of the commonly used e-commerce platforms. Versions of Magento are released periodically with many features and security improvements.

It is difficult for you to know which version of Magento you are using because there are so many versions released. Knowing the version that applies to your store is important for you to plan your upgrade as well as for compatibility with third-party extensions.

In addition, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of the version you are using helps you adjust your store more reasonably.

Check the Magento 2 Version

1. Command line

The first thing to check the version using the command line is to connect to your server via SSH and go to the Magento document root. Then run the following command:

php bin/magento --version

Output:
Magento CLI version 2.4.2

2. HTTP GET request

You can add /magento_version after your store URL.
An HTTP request will return less detailed information about the Magento version.

http(s)://<your-Magento2-store>/magento_version

3. Magento 2 Admin Panel

Log in to the Admin Panel with the admin account. You will see the Magento 2 version displayed in the bottom right corner of the page.

4. The composer.lock file

If Magento was installed using the composer install command, you can search the /composer.lock file for magento/product-community-edition or magento/product-enterprise-edition, depending on which version of Magento is installed.

{
    "name": "magento/product-community-edition",
    "version": "2.4.2",
