I don't do it but what you do:
>download rulebook PDFs for the game you want, you'll want them on your phone or similar for reference during play
>buy a dice set if you don't have one (you can get them from aliexpress for ~$2 or elsewhere for a fair bit more) the dice set should include dice like d20, d4, d8, etc
>find somebody to play with, check at the nearest game/comic stores, or look for ads online (you can try playing with friends but you will probably have to be the DM, which requires a lot more effort and time investment, and if they don't have their hearts in playing it's not gonna be worth it)
I'm pretty sure it's that simple

Step three: join that game as a player.
