How to find the version of an executable file in 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?

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.
