At first level you get maximum HP, but at following levels you roll the die and get stuck with whatever you roll(good or ill) from then on.

Most DMS however offer the option of taking the average(6.5 for barbarian, 5.5 for fighter) with the half points adding up every other level.

Seriously though, roll the die type for your class (It'll have what you get in the class description. Take that result and add your Constitution modifier to it, and that's how many points you added to your total for the level. At 1st level, you get max HP.
