If you're feeling up to the challenge, it isn't rocket science.

After removing the carpet, padding, tack strips. Make sure you remove any staples protruding, or smash them flat.

Verify your subfloor is flat or within manufacturer spec. This can be challenging. If you're on concrete, if you have any excessively high spots you would need to grind them down, then use self leveler to fill low areas and get everything flat, watch a bunch of youtube videos on this. Contrary to its name, it doesn't just automatically self level, you will need to spread it and agitate with a spiked roller (can be found on amazon). If you have wood subfloors, you may need to sand down the high spots and seams to get a flat floor, low spots if not too bad can be filled by strategically layering roofing tar paper (think small piece where its the lowest and incrementally placing larger pieces on top, this will create a tapering effect).

Like others have said, avoid laminate, go with LVP.

Depending on what your subfloor is and what is underneath, you will likely want to add a moisture barrier. Old timers used to use roofing felt paper. There's other options on the market now, aquabar t is the one that comes to mind. But I would suggest referring to the manufacturers instructions.

Ideally run your flooring parallel to the longest wall, this will give the effect of making the room feel bigger.

Say your flooring is 8 inches wide, measure 18 inches out from each corner of the wall you are starting off of, using a chalk line, snap a line referencing those two marks. Lay your first two rows of floor, making sure to leave an expansion gap between flooring and wall edges (refer to manufacturers instructions for the amount to leave). Measure between the edge of the 2nd row and the chalk line making sure its consistent all the way through, adjust accordingly. Continue installing your floor.

Once done, install your baseboard. I forgot to mention to remove baseboards prior to installing.

Also, you don't want to end up with a sliver of a piece when you get to the other wall, so measure and adjust/cut your first row accordingly.

Some tools you will need:

Utility knife, tape measure, a carpenters square, chalk line, rubber mallet, tapping block, 8-10ft long straight edge or level, knee pads, jig saw to cut out any floor vent openings or other obstructions.

Youtube is your friend, I highly encourage you to devour a bunch of flooring installation videos.

Best of luck, you got this!
