Get a guitar and play it. It doesn't really matter that much what you do with it, as long as you're playing it every day for at least an hour. Sooner or later you'll start to not sound awful.

Just know that 90% of people who try to learn guitar give up within one year. Make sure you have a good reason to play. Guitar takes a ton of time, so you have to be certain this is worth your dedication.

Can I fully learn from yt, and what should I learn first?

I wouldn't really recommend YouTube, since at this phase just learning how the instrument and your body works is what's important. YT lessons will never match your pace, so just play the instrument every day.

I guess if you really want a good starting point, learn the chords C and G, then work on switching between the two. That should take you a good month (if not longer) to do well. After that learn the rest of the open position chords then start looking at songs.
