I strongly advise getting a teacher. Learning to do the basics properly is ESSENTIAL, and once you move on to more technique-demanding things, you have to develop good habits and have bad ones squelched. Trust me, it's dman hard to correct bad habits.

You can always learn yourself but imop you should have a teacher to watch over you. There is a lot of stuff you don't really need teachers for. Once your fingers can make a chord, look up how to make others. Learn some scales. Read about different methods. Keep coming to this forum! All this stuff will help you out.
