How can I check which version of Riak I am running?

Question

I have Riak installed on my machine and it's running (riak ping returns 'pong').

How can I check which version of Riak I have?

Answer 1

$ riak version

appears to be the way.

riak_kv_version is not the same thing as riak version. See:

Answer 2

riak ping to ensure your node is running, then:

riak-admin status | grep riak_kv_version
