I am trying to install Arch on a older dell Latitude E5410 laptop. I am to the point that i am install the boot loader. I typed this command

grub-install —target=x86_64-Eli —Eli-directory=/boot/EFI —bootloader-Id=GRUB

The below is what was returned

Installing for x86-64-efi platform.
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory.

I am very new to Linux. Can someone help
 


typos above
I type this command
grub-install —target=x86_64-efi —efi-directory=/boot/EFI —bootloader-id=GRUB
 
well it's probably because it's not for EFI

did you try

Code:
# grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sdX

Grub ArchLinux
