what is the command that returns the version number of Fricas?

[Nasser M. Abbasi]

I wanted to verify that sagemath is calling the correct Fricas version on my PC. But the command from sagemath   

    sage: print(fricas.version())

gives an error, because Fricas has no command version().

I searched Fricas PDF book and googled but so far no luck.

Is there a command for this? All other cas systems I am using have such command but can't find the one for Fricas so far.

Thanks

This should work:

fricas.eval(")lisp |$build_version|");

Thanks. That worked

sage: print(fricas.eval(")lisp |$build_version|"))

Value = "FriCAS 1.3.8"

In fricas this also works:

systemCommand("version")$MoreSystemCommands

It is the same as typing

)version

inside a fricas session.

You just have to translate it to SageMath.
