Kali Installation Error - executing grub install dummy failed
Raw
grub_installation_errror.md

Sometimes when you reinstall Kali, the installer shows this error executing grub install dummy failed while installing grub and you have to skip this most important step to continue. The above commands are required if grub was not installed during the installation.

However if grub is present in EFI system partition but entry of kali is missing from boot menu options then you don't have to go through those commands. In hp PCs boot menu options, select

Boot from EFI just below the Windows Boot Manager.

Go to System>EFI>kali>grubx64.efi

Once kali boots open terminal and enter these commands

sudo grub-install /dev/sda
sudo update-grub

NOTE : For DELL users, there is no Boot from EFI option in your boot menu options but if you go to your UEFI settings you can add entry of bootloader from there.
