How to know Laravel version and where is it defined?

Is Laravel version is defined inside my application directory or somewhere in global server side directory?

Answer 1

run php artisan --version from your console.

The version string is defined here:

https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/master/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Application.php

/**
 * The Laravel framework version.
 *
 * @var string
 */
 const VERSION = '5.5-dev';
