How to find the version of an executable file in Linux?

Question

linux

It is required to find out the version of the executable file of a third-party program that is installed without a package manager (by its own installer). On Windows, this can be done by looking at the properties of the file. And what options can be tried in Linux?

Answer 1

Just run the program from the console with the -v option, if it doesn't show, run it with --help and see which key displays the version.
You can look in the package manager.
