I am not sure about the version of locate.

Hi, the ./install.sh script uses options only available in the GNU version of Core Utils. In MacOS X, these tools only accept POSIX options.

If GNU Core Utils is installed, I can easily target the binaries instead of the default ones.

I am currently fixing install.sh so it checks the OS and make sure that the GNU version is used.

I've managed to run the install script on a MacOS:

brew install coreutils
PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
./install.sh DIR

The first line installs the GNU version of coreutils. The second replaces the MacOS version with the GNU version in the path.

We should include a test in the install script.
