How to find the chrome browser version using terminal in MAC?

Question

Tried the below; but nothing seems to work

google-chrome --version

google-chrome-stable --version

chrome --version

Build: Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)

Your question says "in Linux/Mac". Looking at the issue you have it looks like you might be using a mac, in which case the google-chome binary will be hidden away in the Applications folder. On my mac, this works:

$ /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --version                                                                            
Google Chrome 59.0.3071.104 

If you're not using a mac, it could well be because the path to your google-chome binary isn't in your $PATH variable, so I'd either specify the complete path, or add the right path to $PATH.

I have tried in my terminal. It's working. Please check yours. Please make sure that you have installed google chrome, not chromium.

Update for Mac: Your Mac is not allowing google-chrome as an environment variable. So, you can't access from terminal or CLI. You may use simple hack,

/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --version

Note: The command will be like that. Use according to your machine.

google-chrome --version
