You need the package nfs-client to be installed.

The command (in its simplest form) is:
mount machine:path local_directory

for example
mount rover:/usr1 /rover

/rover must be an existing, empty, directory.  (If it isn't empty, you will
lose sight of its files as long as the remote directory is mounted.)
