Topic: grub-install error: cannot find EFI directory

Following step-by-step the instructions the Gparted Manual. I get an error at section 5.


The partition (containing Mint 19.3) that I am trying to fix is at /dev/sda8. As I read the instruction I shall then enter grub-install /dev/sda (I also tried with sda8, but got the same result) and this was the output:


root@ubuntu:/# grub-install /dev/sda

Installing for x86_64-efi platform.

grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.

As the instructions have no mention of this possibly happening and what to do then, I ask here! (and I have also asked here)

I also can add that I do have an EFI directory as per the output of 

ls /sys/formware/efi
