I am using texlive-full installation and TexMaker IDE.
I have done a manual installation (mkdir and copy paste .sty file) under
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/nicematrix/nicematrix.sty
When I include
\usepackage{nicematrix} and try to compile with PDFLatex my IDE goes into an infinite run. I have to break it with a stop button. At this point I get the following errors:
Here is the error log file: link
Please help me fix this. Thank you.
Things tried:
- Checked for all other dependent packages -- they exist
- Did a user wide installation -- same error
- Restarting everything after installation -- same error

EDIT:: Fixed! So the point raised by @daleif is correct. My version of TeXLive - which is the actual distribution version for ubuntu 16.04, is 2015. This is too old. I tried many things as seen in the comments and none of them work - ended up crashing my Ubuntu also, as I removed some dependencies.
Now I finally did the following: 1. Updated Ubuntu Xenial generic, headers, images etc. 2. added ppa with :ppa-link 3. Update, Upgrade, Autoremove 4. I have texlive version 2018. No side install. No equivs. 5. This has nicematrix package by default!
Update-1: Any idea why just NiceArray and all its subtypes bNiceArray and so on are "package not found" but NiceMatrix works just fine? Below is the MWE that does not compile/work (All examples are from Stack Exchange/Documentation):
\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix}
\begin{document}
\[
P = \begin{bNiceArray}{C CCCC}
a & 0 & 0 & \dots & 0 \\
0 & \Block{4-4}<\huge>{Q} \\
0 & & & & \\
\vdots & & & & \\
0 & & & &
\end{bNiceArray}
\end{document}
Output:
The following example compiles but executes with some bugs:
\documentclass[12pt,oneside]{article}
\usepackage{nicematrix}
\begin{document}
$\begin{pNiceMatrix}[nullify-dots]
a& b& 0&& \Cdots & 0\\b& a& b& \Ddots && \Vdots \\0& b& a& \Ddots &&\\& \Ddots & \Ddots & \Ddots && 0\\\Vdots &&&&& b\\0& \Cdots && 0& b& a
\end{pNiceMatrix}$
