To install laminate flooring what is the best way ? Glueing, nailing or a floating floor.?

I believe all laminate flooring is designed to be installed as a floating floor. This is due to the relative expansion and contraction of the laminate relative to the sub-flooring
Laminate is either glued together or uses a snap together design. I have installed the snap together type and it is easy to install. Most glue types are more difficult and messy. You need to hold the pieces together until the glue sets and you also have to wipe up any excess squeeze out.
Glueing to hold in place temporarily and then nailing when everything is where you want it to be.

That all depends. Before you install wood floor in your home, make sure you check out your options on the many different kinds of wood flooring that’s available to you.

laminate flooring is a tongue and groove floor. meaning that you hook them together in place on the floor. after finishing the floor you put the trim around the walls holding it in place.

Laminate flooring is a floating floor system, no nails or glue. You only nail or glue with wood flooring

With the older Pergo type floors, you would glue the edges, but the newer laminates just snap in place…easy peasy.
If you have to cut them, make sure you cut from the backside and get a diamond saw blade as laminates will eat a regular saw blade up quickly.
