What have you tried so far? Have you checked the documentation? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/databases/attach-a-database?view=sql-server-2017 Have a go and if you get stuck tell us more about what the problem your facing is, and any relevant errors.

I would be more concerned, however, with how SQL Server was "accidentally(?)" uninstalled from your server,
