To install the locate command (mlocate) in Redhat or Centos, use the ’YUM’ command, install function.
- Logon as ‘root’ or use with ‘sudo’ permissions
- Then, run a ’man’ command to confirm that the locate command is not already installed: ‘man locate’
Example ‘man’ command (as root user)
[root@blog-server ~]# man locate
- If the ’man’ documentation page returns, then it is already installed. If no ’man’ documentation page is returned, then run the ‘yum install’ command.
- Run the ‘yum install’ command as ‘root’ or ‘sudo’ user:
Example ‘yum install’ command (as root user)
[root@blog-server ~]# yum install mlocate
Example ‘yum install’ command (as sudo user)
[root@blog-server ~]# sudo yum install mlocate
Then run the [root@data-server ~]# updated
Example Run ‘updatedb’ Command (as Root user)
[root@blog-server ~]# updated
Example Run ‘updatedb’ Command (as sudo user)
[root@blog-server ~]# sudo updated
