If you are installing on a concrete slab, then make a sand bed with sand & cement mixed to a praportion of 1:25. Level the bed. Then make cement slurry by mixing water. Pour the slurry on the bed for about an area slightly bigger than tile. Place the water soaked tile & give light blows by a wooden piece. then repeat the same procedure for next tile. Next day clean the joints & remove all excess cement slurry which has come out. Rake the joints. Then fill the joints by slurry of white cement. After a drying period of 2 hours, remove the excess white cement slurry. Pour some water for three days to keep the joints wet.
If you want to install on prelaid flooring tile, then first grind the existing tile surface to make it rough. Then make cement slurry with polymer additive. Then paste the tiles on this rough surface by applying 3 to 4mm of layer of slurry.

What best flooring can install over ceramic?
Many things can go over ceramic with ease, but the "best" option is one which works in the room you're doing. For example, laminate flooring is most forgiving of the unevenness (groutlines) of ceramic tile and easiest to install - but I would not put laminate in a bathroom (it's not moisture resistant). For a bathroom, the best option over ceramic is sheet vinyl. Be sure to use leveling compound to smooth grout lines even with the surface of tiles first.
