Using the terminal in Debian/Ubuntu, how does find the version of the system's TeX Live distribution? I don't have tlmgr so I would need to need to do this either through apt-get, aptitude, or some command that invokes the --version flag. Thanks.

The command to show your texlive version is
tex --version

5Any other main binary will also report TeX Live verison:
latex --version,pdflatex --version,xelatex --version. – Adobe Dec 15 '14 at 10:16
--versionbut does not know what command to append it to. texlive is not a command, so your suggestion does not work. – N.N. Feb 01 '12 at 22:03
