Use the weed control plastic roll you use in your flowerplamtings. A few weeds may poke p but easy to spray. You may want to put colored stones in between or layer under the stones makes a nice color contrast.
use professional grade landscape fabric, the plastic I find disintegrates
I'm not sure if it's possible to 100% get the weeds away since they grow in the smallest of cracks. This is a sample of our brick path but more importantly, the all-natural weed killer that we use that works really well. Good luck! Hugs, Holly

Put down newspapers on top of landscaping fabric before putting down the bricks. It will stop the weeds.
Dig out the topsoil under the paver area, install and level crushed stone as a base (4" is usually good for light use pavements), compact it thoroughly, lay a 3/4-1 inch layer of stone chips or coarse sand as a setting base for the pavers/bricks, tamp in place. Sweep polymeric sand between the pavers, wet it all down, getting the paver sand off the brick faces, and you should have no weeds. The polymeric sand hardens when dry, softens when wet to accommodate shifts in the bricks. Weeds and ant hills are no longer a problem.
You'll want to lay weed fabric down on leveled sand. Then the bricks. But more info from Hometalk is here https://www.hometalk.com/search/posts?filter=brick%20walkway
