Do you have a local gaming shop that hosts Dungeons and Dragons sessions on a weekly basis? Sometimes there are notices of people putting groups together. You might want to find if your area has a web forum for local gaming groups too.

You don't need to buy anything to try the game, you can use the free basic rules on the dnd.wizards.com site. It contains everything you need to know.

Here is the WotC store locator  Look for stores in your area that have encounters or expeditions.  They are organized play (Adventures League) and if you don't already have a group, this is probably the best/easiest way to get started.

 

Another option is to look up the game stores in your area, and see if they have regular games being played there... or if they have a bulletin board that people use to find players.

Not enough information. Do you have a group to join into? How is that group like? All new players? How is the DM? Or you just felt like doing some D&D and don't know where to even search for people? Where are you from? Play real life or online?

Well, how old are you? I imagine you'd have to be at least 13 or so to be there alone (That's just my own personal guess). 

 

D&D, and games like it, are played by people in any age group. There's four people in my group. I'm 27, and the others are 36, 24, and 25 respectively. I've seen other groups where there's a 30 year old man playing with his 10 year old son. 

 

I suggest you start by just watching people play, and reading the rules. You can watch people play online, or at your local game store. If you go online, some of the more 'famous' games are Critical Role and Acquisitions Incorporated (Acq Inc started with 4th Edition and now they're on 5th Edition, they only play once or twice a year). That's how I learned. Started by reading the rules, then watching games so I could see those rules implemented in action. Then I got my friends together and I was Dungeon Master, and introduced them to the rules as we began playing.

Tremendous fun actually, I do so enjoy mental puzzles on that scope and scale. I don't like micromanaging though, so my Civ V stays on AI Pilot.
