My advice is just start wherever/however your best guess is with the info you have and figure it out along the way.
Starting is the most important thing. Not how to start. Just starting.
When you have experienced the usual newbie pitfalls you'll be able to know what to ask about more specifically and discover the right communities where these things are discussed, and will know what ppl are talking about.
The second most important thing is persistence.
Good luck.
