I have mongoDB 3.2 installed locally for Windows 7. I would like to find out its specific version (like is it 3.2.1, or 3.2.3 or...). How could I find it? If I open the database shell (mongo.exe), I can see it outputs:

MongoDB shell version: 3.2.0

But that's just the shell version, and I'm not sure whether it's the same as my real database version.

Just run your console and type:

db.version()

Option1:

Start the console and execute this:

db.version()

Option2:

Open a shell console and do:

$ mongod --version

It will show you something like

$ mongod --version
db version v3.0.2

To check MongoDB version use the mongod command with --version option.

To check the MongoDB Server version, Open the command line via your terminal program and execute the following command:

Path:C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin
Open Cmd and execute the following command:
mongod --version
To Check MongoDB Shell version:
mongo --version

mongo --version

MongoDB shell version: 2.6.10

mongod --version

db version v2.6.10

mongo

MongoDB shell version: 2.6.10
connecting to: test

db.version()

2.6.10

From the Java API:

Document result = mongoDatabase.runCommand(new Document("buildInfo", 1));
String version = (String) result.get("version");
List<Integer> versionArray = (List<Integer>) result.get("versionArray");

Sometimes you need to see version of mongodb after making a connection from your project/application/code. In this case you can follow like this:

 mongoose.connect( encodeURI(DB_URL), { keepAlive: true }, (err) => { if (err) { console.log(err) }else{ const con = new mongoose.mongo.Admin(mongoose.connection.db) con.buildInfo( (err, db) => { if(err){ throw err } // see the db version console.log(db.version) }) } } )

Hope this will be helpful for someone.

For Mac users try running this command

brew services start mongodb-community
