    I followed _defalt's steps to install grub however when I execute the command
    grub-install /dev/sda
    , I get the following error:
    EFI variables are not supported on this system.
    grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory.
    I have checked my BIOS settings and both secure boot and legacy support are disabled.

    Before attempting my given solution, run modprobe efivarfs.
