It seems locate is not on my centos7 server but some research shows it was replaced by mlocate a long time ago. If this is correct the course should probably mention it. yum search locate results in finding mlocate only.

    rpm -qil mlocate will show you locate (and updatedb) are part of mlocate. The name of the package is irrelevant. yum list *locate* would have shown you right away.

    Next time you post something, as requested before, please mention what section of the course you are referring to as I have no idea based on your comment, which makes it very hard to answer specifics

    Please post in the edX forums for that, it doesn't belong here and there are plenty of people to help there
