you can use masonry nails or TapCon screws. Tap con

Masonry nails are for uncured concrete. The tapcons need pilot holes drilled, but the drill bit often comes with the screws.

Or ramset nails. Or construction adhesive. – keshlam Dec 24 '22 at 04:59
Ramset nails can be driven with a hammer, if you're careful. but yeah, they work better with the proper gun. – Jasen Dec 24 '22 at 10:04
