How do you install carpet in basement floor?

Answer:
Carpet install on CONCRETE
Carpet in a basement assumes that it is a concrete sub floor..
Either glue it down.. Very easy!!!!! go to the Depot & buy a trowel & some carpet adhesive
Or
Tackstrip & pad then stretch the carpet just like anywhere else.. Seams are tricky & setting the tack strip on the concrete is about as much fun as a root canal.. Think about letting a pro install carpet on a concrete floor...
Look on youtube there are some good free how to install videos out there
