How to find the exact version of installed MongoDB

Question

I have mongoDB 3.2 installed locally for Windows 7. I would like to find out its specific version (like is it 3.2.1, or 3.2.3 or...). How could I find it? If I open the database

Sometimes you need to see version of mongodb after making a connection from your project/application/code. In this case you can follow like this:

 mongoose.connect(
    encodeURI(DB_URL), {
      keepAlive: true
    },
    (err) => {
      if (err) {
        console.log(err)
      }else{
           const con = new mongoose.mongo.Admin(mongoose.connection.db)
              con.buildInfo( (err, db) => {
              if(err){
                throw err
              }
             // see the db version
             console.log(db.version)
            })
      }
    }
  )

Hope this will be helpful for someone.
