How to Check the Plotly Dash Version in the Terminal or Shell (Unix/macOS/Linux/Windows?

To check the dash version in your Windows, Unix, macOS, or Linux environment, you can run the command pip list in your terminal or shell and locate the dash output with version information in the format x.y.z (e.g., 2.5.1)

Here’s an example where you run pip list in your shell:

pip list

Example Output:

...
dash                          2.5.1
dash-core-components          2.0.0
dash-html-components          2.0.0
dash-table                    5.0.0
dask                          2.12.0
datascience                   0.10.6
...

In this example, I’ve figured out that this environment has dash version 2.5.1 installed.

💡 Note: If there is no output line for dash, it means that Plotly Dash is not installed in your environment.
