Bootloader could not be installed

Hello friends,
I need help.
The bootloader could not be installed. The installation command

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=Manjaro --force
returned error code 1.

Why would you want or need to install it?
It should have been installed … long ago.

What is the back story?

What is the actual problem, prompting you to want to re-install grub?

Maybe your error is that :wink:

The efi directory should point to the ESP partition, which by conventions is mounted either on /boot/efi or /efi

Note:
An EFI system partition (ESP) has partition type = ef00

You can also use Maxi
