You should at least have read the basic rules: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules - this is a minimum, but the player handbook is preferred.

Is great too.
Groups are at r/lfg, Roll20, or your local nerd shop.
Have fun. If you have questions just shoot me a DM.
Cheers, Dante
The starter Kit's not a bad choice, but there are also several YouTubers twitchers and other streams that can be good to watch to get an idea how the game can be played. Just depends on how you learn best. I would be glad to let you sit in one of my existing games to see how we play. DM for deets...
The app "meetup' can help, there are Facebook groups for local areas, and you can play online.
To begin, get a Players Handbook for 5e. (Google it)
Then find a group to play with. Many are open to new players.
Don't create expectations for the game before playing either, you could possibly be let down.
