## Finding the current version of Angular

## 查看 Angular 的当前版本

The most recent stable released version of Angular appears in the [Angular documentation](https://angular.io/docs "Angular documentation") at the bottom of the left side navigation. For example, `stable (v5.2.9)`.

You can also find the most current version of Angular by using the CLI command [`ng update`](cli/update). By default, `ng update` (without additional arguments) lists the updates that are available to you.  

你还可以使用 [CLI 命令 `ng update`](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/update "Angular CLI update documentation") 发现 Angular 的最新版本。默认情况下，`ng update`（不需要其它参数）会列出你可用的所有更新。
