Probably the best way to do it is to become root using su(1) or sudo(1),
and then type:
/etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate
This could take several minutes, depending on your system.
Or you could wait another couple of days, and it will run automatically
(take a look at cron(8), crontab(1,5), periodic(8) and periodic.conf(5))
