Hi,

You can pass the `--version` flag to the `yb-master` or the `yb-tserver` binary.

For example, I get the following on my mac for the `1.2.2.0` version:

```bash
$ yugabyte-1.2.2.0/bin/yb-tserver --version
version 1.2.2.0 build 2 revision 91b8a670728f0ec551ef494960aedc068c43abb5 build_type RELEASE built at 26 Mar 2019 11:17:57 PST

```
