How do I get the nodejs version inside a nodejs program?

Question

In a debugger for nodejs, there is a command to show the V8 version and the debugger package version. How can I get the nodejs version?

I imagine I can basically run a command node --version or nodejs --version, but I'm hoping there a is way to do with without running an external shell command – which is not only slower but, depending on paths, might give a different answer.

Use process.version to get the version of Node that is running:

console.log('Node version is: ' + process.version);

And I see I can use process.versions which also gives the v8 version. stackoverflow.com/questions/11707698/…
