grub-install: Install GRUB on an UEFI system.
$ grub-install --target=${x86_64-efi} --efi-directory=${path-to-efi_directory} --bootloader-id=${GRUB}
try on your machine
This command is used to install the GRUB bootloader on a system running an x86_64-based EFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). Here's a breakdown of each argument:
grub-install
: This is the command to install the GRUB bootloader.--target=${x86_64-efi}
: It specifies the target environment for the GRUB installation, which is an x86_64-based EFI. The${x86_64-efi}
is a placeholder variable that represents the target environment.--efi-directory=${path-to-efi_directory}
: This argument indicates the directory where the EFI system partition is mounted. The${path-to-efi_directory}
is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual path to the EFI directory.--bootloader-id=${GRUB}
: It sets the name or identifier for the GRUB bootloader. The${GRUB}
is another placeholder variable that should be replaced with a desired bootloader identifier.
To use this command, you need to replace the placeholder variables (${x86_64-efi}
, ${path-to-efi_directory}
, ${GRUB}
) with the appropriate values specific to your system.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
