Hi Experts,
getting below error when trying grub-install -
| Quote: | # grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi
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 out of ideas as to what am I missing here. Please suggest and thanks in advance.

Did you forget to mount /proc, /sys, /dev, /run filesystems?
Specifically, efivarfs is not mounted which is the direct cause of the error. |

The best solution: Boot your system in EFI mode and mount all needed parts also to the chroot.
Another approach: Add the "--no-nvram" flag to "grub-install" and boot from the UEFI settings. |

Is this the output of your live-system or from within the chroot?
It would be great if you share all the commands you entered and the output. |
