Debian – How to update Linux “locate” cache

debianlocate

How can I update the cache / index of locate? I installed new packages and the files are clearly not yet indexed.
So which command do I have to commit, in order for the indexer to trigger?

I'm currently working on debian jessie (testing):
with Linux mbpc 3.13-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.13.7-1 (2014-03-25) x86_64 GNU/Linux

The command is:

sudo updatedb

See man updatedb for more details.
