Linux - mkfs.btrfs: command not found

Hello,

I am not able to execute format on btrfs filesystem on linux ubuntu:

rumburak @ ubuntu: ~ $ sudo mkfs.btrfs
sudo: mkfs-btrfs: command not found

rumburak @ ubuntu: ~ $ sudo apt install mkfs.btrfs
Reading package lists ...
Building dependency tree
Reading state information ... Done
E: Unable to locate package mkfs.btrfs

rumburak @ ubuntu: ~ $ sudo apt install btrfs-tools
Reading package lists ...
Building dependency tree
Reading state information ...
Package btrfs-tools is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'btrfs-tools' has no installation candidate

Can anyone advise how to get brtfs there without adding questionable repositories? Thanks
