How to Install mlocate (locate and updatedb Commands) on CentOS 6

One of the best tools for quickly finding files by filename is the locate command. The locate command reads one or more databases prepared by updatedb and writes file names matching at least one of the patterns to standard output, one per line.

 
Step 1: Install mlocate


As a matter of best practice we’ll update our packages:

yum -y update


Then let’s install mlocate and any required packages:

yum -y install mlocate


Step 2: Updating mlocate


The following command will update the search databases:

updatedb


mlocate installs a cron job that will run daily to update search databases at:

/etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron
