nc and netcat are the same program, but the package name may vary depending on the OS or OS distribution you use. Because you didn't specify what your environment was I'm gonna assume you're using Ubuntu and drop that extract from the OS documentation here:

Package netcat
…
bionic (18.04LTS) (net): TCP/IP swiss army knife -- transitional package [universe]
1.10-41.1: all
also provided by: netcat-openbsd, netcat-traditional

-- https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=netcat

Any of the highlighted package names should have you covered:

$ docker run ubuntu:bionic sh -c 'apt update && apt install -y netcat && which nc'
