You have to install Java first.

Not sure if you have checked out the forum yet, but here's the general guide to the game

Also, It seems like you are using the default client (by clicking the play button & downloading the client). I'd recommend using custom client such as Amber client that I'm using viewtopic.php?f=49&t=40400

Pls don't suggest custom clients to new players ruining their experience with the game. Keep going with the default client, that is way much better in how is designed to enjoy the game...custom only spoil you the game, make things easier, etc, and clearly is not designed from people that do this as a job, so it's very poor conceptually.

There are a few things in some of the mod clients that actually make it easier for new players, such as wiki information in tooltips that doesn't exist in the default.
