Hickory flooring requires more acclimation than similar flooring products. It has more movement that traditional oak floors. Traditionaly you begin along the long wall of a room and work your way across making sure you keep the flooring straight and square. Apply cleats through the tongue where possible and face nail where it is not possible.
