How do I know which gcc version I have?

How do I find out the version of my GNU gcc compiler that was used by upstream Linux distribution to compile and pack my binary Linux kernel? You need to cat the /proc/version file. This file identifies the kernel version that is currently running and gcc version used to build the kernel.

How do I know if gcc is installed on Linux?

Very simple. and that will indicate that gcc is installed on your computer. In the Command Prompt window type “gcc” and hit enter. If the output says something like “gcc: fatal error: no input files”, that is good, and you pass the test.
