DESCRIPTION
       grub-install  installs  GRUB onto a device.  This includes copying GRUB
       images into the target directory (generally /boot/grub),  and  on  some
       platforms may also include installing GRUB onto a boot sector.

OPTIONS
       --modules=MODULES
              Pre-load modules specified by MODULES.

       --install-modules=MODULES
              Install  only MODULES and their dependencies.  The default is to
              install all available modules.

       --themes=THEMES
              Install THEMES.  The default is to install the starfield  theme,
              if available.

       --locales=LOCALES

       --compress=no,xz,gz,lzo
              Compress GRUB files using the specified compression algorithm.

       --directory=DIR
              Use images and modules in DIR.

       --grub-mkimage=FILE
              Use FILE as grub-mkimage.  The default is /usr/bin/grub-mkimage.

       --boot-directory=DIR
              Use DIR as the boot directory.  The default is /boot.  GRUB will
              put its files in a subdirectory of this directory named grub.

       --target=TARGET
              Install  GRUB  for TARGET platform.  The default is the platform
