Beyond that I think it would be best to find a DM and join a game. They can then provide a more direct learning experience and the learn-by-doing method is more helpful for games like this. Plus, every game is a little different.

Picking up either The Starter Set or The Essentials Kit (Target Exclusive) includes a simple set of rules and beginner adventure to help you get started as quickly as possible. Seriously, I bought the Starter Set and was running a game within an hour for my friends.
The best possible way to though is to get into a game. You don't need to know every single rule to play, just be open-minded and let the DM know you're new!
You can try your hand at Adventurer's League play, which is D&D's official continuous play organization that will run games for free in Local Game Stores pretty much anywhere (You can ask yours if they're running any AL games). There is also an online Adventurer's League Discord group. They play games pretty much 24/7 that are AL official, meaning you can build up your character sheet according to AL rules, earning XP, levels, magic items, etc. that stay with that character even if you bring them to conventions or other events!
Other Options:
There are also tons of play-by-post games on DNDBeyond if you check out the forums.
There is a website called Roll20 that also hosts games to apply to, and even more game recruiting in their forums as well.
Check out Disboard for tons of Discord-based D&D groups that often host tons of games.
Most of all, just have fun with it. My biggest piece of advice is do not try to make a character sheet before you've played in a campaign first. Unless you're doing Adventurers League, where that is a requirement, most DM's have their own campaign worlds and it's best to work with them to make a character that fits into their world rather than making a random character sheet.
where are you located? I could perhaps do a 1 on 1 game over video chat to get you started, but I play a unique version of D&D that wouldnt be the same as anybody elses

There are lots of ways to learn to play D&D!
I always recommend watching/listening to Live Play to get a feel for it. Force Grey: Lost City of Omu is a good one to start with being that the episodes are short and not too overwhelming. You can also check out Critical Role, The Adventure Zone: Balance, Acquisitions Inc., etc.
As mentioned earlier the New Players Guide is invaluable.
