You could also check your package.json file it contains all the details.
Angular-CLI is:
- A build tool: a command line tool used to generate and initialize an angular project.
- A development tool: used to add components, services and custom directives to the angular project.
- A service: to run your project to see and interact with the application while developing.
Angular:
As we hear about different versions, angular 2, 4, 6..., is a platform, a framework and an MVC architecture that is used to build client side single page applications that can run in a web browser.The architecture consists of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Most common language used in developing angular application is Typescript which gives an OOP like structure to angular and is a wrapper on JavaScript.
