Method 1 :

Log in as root user and then enter the command :


# MySQL --version
This entered command shows the following result :


MySQL Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.55, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
Now you can check the current version of MySQL version you are working with. If you get the above output then you are successful.

Method 2 :

Now it’s time to learn another command which you have to enter into MySQL client tools. For that you have to enter the following command :

 
# MySQL
After that you will get the following output which shows the current version of MySQL.

 

Method 3 :

If you have installed PhpMyAdmin through which you can manage your MySQL database then you can check the MySQL server details in PhpMyAdmin tool GUI.

NOTE: 
You can check the details in the right panel of the screen under Database server details.
