Here is the screenshot

enter image description here

The mode is triggered by SPC-f-L .

I am using OSX and locate is already installed.

How can I solve this issue? Install a different version of locate or Change the behaviour of the mode?

according to the output of locate, it does not know the option -b, so you need to customize helm-locate (M-x customize-group helm-locate) and remove the option -b from the invocation of it („helm locate command”). Don't forget to press „save and apply” further up to make the change permanent.

try this invocation if you still have problems: locate %s -e -A --regex %s

    From helm-locate-command documentation: Note that the "-b" option is added automatically by helm when var ‘helm-locate-fuzzy-match’ is non-nil and switching back from multimatch to fuzzy matching (this is done automatically when a space is detected in pattern). I tried to customise the helm-locate-command but still getting the errors as the "-b" option is always added automatically :-( – Liwen Jul 6 '18 at 10:27
