Welcome to the site, and to the world of guitar!
Yeah, absolute 1st step would be to learn what I (and a few others) call the "cowboy" chords, which is just a nickname for those chords usually found within the 1st 3 frets and also usually using open (unfretted) strings within the chord shape. More simply, the most common easy chords strummed around a campfire. I'd work on those before trying barre chords (those which require spanning multiple strings with one finger), which every beginner will find seemingly impossible at first.
