Hi there, I’m trying to get Anthias installed on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ and get the screen rotated 90 degrees clockwise. I’ve tried multiple methods of doing both of these tasks but have only been able to do one or the other.
When I install Anthias using the Raspberry Pi Imager, Anthias loads just fine, but I am unable to open the CLI using CTRL+ALT+F1. CTRL+ALT+F2 takes me to a black screen, but I don’t know if that’s helpful or not. I have also put a blank “ssh” file (with no extension) in the root of the Micro SD card, but when I attempt to SSH into the Pi using Putty, I get the error that the connection has been refused.
Alternatively, I have also tried the method of installing Raspberry Pi OS Lite, then running the Anthias install script. Using this method, I am able to install RPI OS Lite, and edit the system file that rotates the screen, but when I run the Anthias install script, it fails at the step where it’s trying to “Add Docker apt key”. Following the advice of a forum post, I made sure to update the Pi using something like “sudo apt-get update” then run the Anthias install script again, but it fails at the same step: “Add Docker apt key”.
Any advice on what I might be doing wrong, or what else I should try? Thanks in advance!
Hi @astropancakes,
Thank you for creating this topic.
If you want to install Anthias where doing SSH is supported, I recommend installing from the installer script. The Raspberry Pi Imager is still pinned to an older version of Anthias.
What version of Raspberry Pi OS Lite does your Rasberry Pi device run? Anthias doesn’t support the latest stable version of RPi OS at the moment. In the meantime, please try installing Anthias on top of Bookworm (the older version).
Hi, thank you for your response. I did figure out that I was trying to run the script on the latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite (Trixie). I ran the script on Bookworm and it is running now. However, I’m still unable to rotate Anthias 90 degrees clockwise, even though I edited /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt before running the Anthias install script and successfully rotated the CLI 90 degrees.
What should I do to rotate Anthias 90 degrees clockwise?
It is something that Anthias doesn’t support out-of-the-box at the moment.

Hi, I actually got it to work by following your comment on a different post:

@astropancakes, I’m glad that the issue was already sorted out. Thanks!
