Hi mates, may I please suggest to create a command line, for example node-red-version where is possible to show all important informations at the same time, thank you!  
uname -r  
node -v  
npm -v  
node-red --h

You can use semi colons or double ampersand or echo a string

```bash
uname -r; node -v; npm -v; node-red --help

```

```bash
uname -r && node -v && npm -v && node-red --help

```

```bash
echo -e "Kernel:\t\t$(uname -r)\nNode.js:\t$(node -v)\nnpm:\t\t$(npm -v)\nnode-red:\t$(node-red --help)"

```

the last one _should_ give you all data in one go

thank you! A bit hard to remember, if on the next versions can be included on a batch command will be great 🙂

I agree, a node-red command line option to report system info would definitely simplify support questions.

Something like `node-red --info` (to differentiate from `node-red --version` - which also isn't a thing oddly)

If you open an issue and link back to this topic, I will assess it for NR V4.

Not the same thing I know, but in case you did not know, in the editor if you Right Click the background and Show Action List, you can select Show System Info to see that information, and a lot more.
