Return the MetaTrader 5 terminal version.

```
version()

```

Return Value

Return the MetaTrader 5 terminal version, build and release date. Return None in case of an error. The info on the error can be obtained using [last_error()](/en/docs/python_metatrader5/mt5lasterror_py).

Note

The version() function returns the terminal version, build and release date as a tuple of three values:

| Type | Description | Sample value |
| --- | --- | --- |
| integer | MetaTrader 5 terminal version | 500 |
| integer | Build | 2007 |
| string | Build release date | '25 Feb 2019' |

Example:

```
import MetaTrader5 as mt5
import pandas as pd
# display data on the MetaTrader 5 package
print("MetaTrader5 package author: ",mt5.__author__)
print("MetaTrader5 package version: ",mt5.__version__)
 
# establish connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
if not mt5.initialize():
    print("initialize() failed, error code =",mt5.last_error())
    quit()
 
# display data on MetaTrader 5 version
print(mt5.version())
 
# display data on connection status, server name and trading account 'as is'
print(mt5.terminal_info())
print()
 
# get properties in the form of a dictionary
terminal_info_dict=mt5.terminal_info()._asdict()
# convert the dictionary into DataFrame and print
df=pd.DataFrame(list(terminal_info_dict.items()),columns=['property','value'])
print("terminal_info() as dataframe:")
print(df[:-1])
 
# shut down connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
mt5.shutdown()
