Ah, sorry, I thought you used helm-locate before. helm-locate depends on the GNU/Linux 'locate' program. You have to install it. I don't know what distro you use, but the package is usually called mlocate or plocate (these are two different implementations of locate). I have mlocate installed on Arch Linux. According to the Arch wiki: ------------ - mlocate (Merging Locate) is a more secure version of the locate utility, that only shows files accessible to the user. - plocate (Posting Locate) is a locate based on posting lists, consuming mlocates database ahead-of-time and making a much faster (and smaller) index out of it. ------------ Generally, when you install locate it is automatically configured so that the database is updated every time you start a session. If you want to update it in the middle of a session, you must execute the updatedb command with sudo in the terminal. Best regards, Juan Manuel
