4.1.2 How Can I Tell If the Compiler has Installed Successfully?

You can use one of the actions below to check for compiler installation.

Find the compiler version on the command line - Use a compiler command line binary to show the version number.
```
xc8-cc --version
xc16-cc --version
xc-dsc-gcc --version
xc32-gcc --version
```
Check the compiler installation directory - Check for compiler version (vx.xx.xx). Common paths are:
- Windows: C:/Program Files/Microchip/xc8/vx.xx.xx
- Linux: /opt/microchip/xc8/vx.xx.xx
- macOS: /Applications/microchip/xc8/vx.xx.xx
