If you haven’t already installed Zoom, then ahead of time, you will need to download the Zoom app, which is free. You can do this on your computer, or on any one of your other devices. Download the version you need here: https://zoom.us/download
You might want to check out the functions of Zoom ahead of time to figure out how to turn your camera on/off, your sound on/off, etc. Here’s a help page with a way to test it out:
