atmos version

Use this command to get the Atmos CLI version

atmos version

Usage​

Execute the atmos version command like this:

atmos version

For a quick version check, use the --version flag:

atmos --version

Note: The --version flag prints a simple atmos <version> line and does not perform update checks or support the --check or --format flags. Use the full atmos version command for richer output and additional functionality.

From time to time, Atmos will check for updates. The frequency of these checks is configured in the atmos.yaml file.

Atmos supports three ways to specify the update check frequency:

  1. As an integer: Specify the number of seconds between checks (for example, 3600 for hourly checks).
  2. As a duration with a suffix: Use a time suffix to indicate the interval (for example, 1m for one minute, 5h for five hours, or 2d for two days).
  3. As one of the predefined keywords: Choose from the following options: minute, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. The default is daily. The default is to check daily, and if any unsupported values are passed this default will be used.

It is also possible to turn off version checks in atmos.yaml by setting version.check.enabled to false, or by setting the ATMOS_VERSION_CHECK_ENABLED environment variable to false, which overrides the version.check.enabled settings in atmos.yaml.

atmos version --check
Version Disambiguation

When using --version with subcommands, it always displays the Atmos CLI version, not the underlying tool version:

atmos terraform --version  # Shows Atmos version, NOT Terraform version
atmos helmfile --version   # Shows Atmos version, NOT Helmfile version

To check the version of Terraform, Helmfile, or other tools, use their native commands directly (e.g., terraform version, helmfile version).

Flags​

--check (optional)
Force Atmos to check for a new version, irrespective of the configuration settings.
--format (optional)
Specify the output format: yaml or json.
