Take a note of this web site:
Software Carpentry

Now visit it, and go to lessons. Your first task would be to learn the shell, which is what you access when you open a terminal in a mac or in a Linux machine (or any UNIX-based operating system). Windows? Install linux and we speak afterwards.

Another rsource, though perhaps a tad advanced, and not updated too frequently is Gabo's blog, where he entertains himself talking about installing software and trying bioinformatic stuff.

Happy learning!
