Get a songbook that shows the guitar chords, of songs you like - if you like Dylan get one of his, or the Beatles, or "Pop hits" of some decade ... a book with some songs you know. You can get some decent ones at the Internet Archive and probably other places if you want digital.
Take a peek inside first and make sure there are songs with relatively simple chords you can see yourself being able to play. Some music is not guitar based, or is just uses really hard chords, and these will leave you frustrated. In my experience it would be lucky to find a book with more than 5 or 10 songs I could play starting out. Sometimes there are only one or two.
The goal is to learn to play a song, or a few songs, hitting the simple chords in it perfectly.
Just play them over and over until your hand gets strong enough and you can make the chord changes cleanly. Then, take on some more songs, etc. This should keep you busy for roughly the first year. In the meantime you will also be able to just sit and play and create your own music, and gradually get a sense of what happens if you make changes to the chords, and your dexterity will improve so you can learn to hit individual strings more cleanly with your picking hand.
Your hand will get tired and your fingertips sore, you have to build them up. The more you can practice the more calloused and strong your hand will become, but the fatigue will regulate the amount of time you can invest the first few months.
Getting a few sets of light strings is a great practice for starting out. They break sooner but are much easier to hit the frets cleanly with which will give a sense of accomplishment. Also a digital tuner but you probably have one of those already.
There is no reason to not simply move ahead learning guitar, it is the quintessential solitary activity.
