With no offense to you, or to any others who answer, I have a suggestion; after installing multiple thousands of sq. ft. of flooring.
Clean and Dry: Is the concrete raw or has it ever been sealed? Is the tile a self adhesive type? Peel & Stick? Or perhaps more a commercial (thicker grade) with no adhesive back?
You'll have greater success if you seal the floor first; BUT certainly a mastic specific for Vinyl Tile/ or sheet stock can work. Applied it with a notched trowel. Use the 1/16 th teeth.
Some mastic will state on the container things such as TAC time/ dry/set time; etc. Your best bet would be something that eventually acts like contact cement. It might say something on the container such as apply advesive to an area, place a tile, press, pull up, allow 15 seconds, place and press tile again.
Obvious considerations will be in the TEXTURE of the floor and if any residue exists even in sand grain sized bits. You also have in mind to square the room and span chalk lines hopefully. Also hopefully you've MAPPED this out allowing you won't step on/ lan on/ put pressure on, any tiles already installed as you Back out of an area.

They make a primer for concrete floors when using those sticky tiles. I have used the stuff before and it works good and it is easy to put on just dump som on the floor and use a paint roller to roll the stuff out. I would put 2 coats on and let it dry according to the directions, and I don't belive you will ever have a problem (Providing your basement is dry)
As far as the concrete board is concerned you only have to do that if you are tiling over a wood floor. since this is in your basement don't worry about it.

dead easy,,,go to your local flooring company & ask for
`acrylic vinyl floor tile adhesive` there are too many manufactures to list..
when you spread the adhesive on your floor ( with a 2mm notched trowel also available from the flooring company) you will have to let the adhesive have some `breath time` ie leave it for 30 to 40 minutes before laying the tiles .
tip,,when the adhesive is tacky & not sticking to your finger when you touch it then it is time to fit your tiles...good luck.

Contact adhesive from Evo-Stick or similar. Spread it with a spatula on floor and tile, leave 10 - 20 min to dry and then put tile on floor. Be careful to place tile in correct position because then it will be difficult to remove.

I'd agree, lay down some hardboard first to ensure a perfectly even surface (and provide a measure of insulation). The tiles will stick a lot easier to it, as well. Your local DIY place will be able to provide both the board and the adhesive.
