Please don't just describe your code and think we can guess
what you've done.

Post the actual code and any actual error messages in full.

There must be at least half a dozen ways to do what you describe.
We can't fix what we can't see.

You need to use a loop, either a 'while' or 'for'
But without seeing what you've done so far I can't say more than that.

I'm pretty sure there is a Linux version, in fact I just checked
and v1.37 has just been released on Linux as well as Windoze and
MacOS.
v1.36 is available in the software tool for my Linux Mint 20 which
is based on Ubuntu 20 so you should definitely be able to get
it working.

But if not there are a zillion other code editors out there that
will do just fine!
