You already installed it with nfs-common. It provides nsf-client and the 
nfs utility binaries.

nfs-utils is not a binary package. Rather, it is the name of the source 
code archive from which the nfs-common and nfs-kernel-server binary 
packages are built:

(jammy)
Package: nfs-common
Source: nfs-utils
Provides: nfs-client
Version: 1:2.6.1-1ubuntu1.2


Package: nfs-kernel-server
Source: nfs-utils
Provides: knfs, nfs-server
Version: 1:2.6.1-1ubuntu1.2


Should note that accessing nfs shares does not necessarily require 
nfs-client. Accessing a nfs share from a gnome program like the Nautilus 
file manager requires a separate nfs library, libnfs13, which is usually 
installed by default.
