I was facing grub rescue issue in linux. However i was able to login in the OS with below tutorial https://www.lisenet.com/2014/grub2-rescue-mode-error-unknown-filesystem/.
I have to upgrade grub to fix the problem.
I am getting error grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory
I have filesystem as below
`sda4, sda5, sda6 for EFI system, linux swap, linux file system respectively.
I am not much experienced using mount or other commands.
grub-install /dev/sda
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.
Thanks

When you run grub-install by default it assumes the EFI system is mounted as /boot/efi
It depends on your distribution where EFI system is mounted and on some distributions it isn't mounted after boot.
First check if /boot/efi is mounted with
mount | grep /boot/efi
If that doesn't work try
mount | grep /dev/sda6
To see if its amounted elsewhere. If neither do:
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
Now run:
grub-install --efi-directory=/mnt/efi
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Grub rescue mode can be treated as
set root=(hd0,gpt6)
set prefix=(hd0,gpt6)/boot/grub
insmod normal
normal
Once you login, enter sudo update-grub && sudo grub-install /dev/sda.
