SUPPORT Problems installing grub

I'm new and following a tutorial

So I tipped: mkdir /boot/EFI

mount /dev/sda1 /boot/EFI

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=grub_uefi --recheck

And it gave me error: cannot find EFI directionary

Can someone help

First of all you should mount to /boot not /boot/EFI. Second of all the error occurs because you need to supply the path to the directory to grub-install with the --efi-directory flag. So the correct command is: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --efi-directory=/boot --recheck
