You need several compilations (because nicematrix uses PGF/TikZ nodes under the hood).

    You probably don't have the latest version of nicematrix. You should update your TeX installation (MiKTeX, TeXLive, etc.).

    If you use Overleaf, you should upload the latest version of the file nicematrix.sty in the repertory of your Overleaf project. You can find that file on the SVN server of TeXLive: www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf-dist/tex/latex/nicematrix/nicematrix.sty

    Yes. With the file nicematrix.sty uploaded, it should work. I have tried on Overleaf : here

  • Thank you. This works for me, but I need the alternating colours of rows and lines as in my question.
