First, in case you don't have it yet, you need a TeX distribution. The 
best place to start is the TeX Users Group:

     https://tug.org/

In the right hand column, under the heading “Software”, you'll find the 
various options.

For Linux and Windows (but bear in mind I don't really know anything 
about Windows), I recommend TeXLive. Also for Linux, many distributions 
have TeXLive in their repositories:

    https://tug.org/texlive/distro.html ;

but I recommend getting it directly from TUG because you'll get the 
latest software from there.

For the Mac, certainly MacTeX is your best choice: MacTeX is TeXLive 
plus some utilities and graphical applications.

Also for Windows you have options like proTeXt and MiKTeX, but I repeat 
that I don't know Windows.

Once you have a TeX distribution, go to

    https://tug.org/begin.html  and  https://tug.org/interest.html

where you'll find a wealth of links to books and online documentation.


Now ---you can write your LaTeX documents with any text editor (*not* 
word processors), but it's easier with a dedicated editor, like

    * for MacOS, TeXshop, which comes with MacTeX;

    * for Linux, MacOS and Windows,

       * TeXworks: http://www.tug.org/texworks/

       * TeXmaker: https://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/

       * TeXstudio: https://www.texstudio.org/

    and many others. I think TeXworks comes with TeXLive for Windows.


I strongly advise you not to install more than one TeX distribution 
---if you use Linux and install TeXLive from the repositories, don't 
install TeXLive from TUG and vice versa; technically you can, but it can 
be a nightmare.


Many journals have their own classes and instructions for their authors, 
like the American Mathematical Society:

    https://www.ams.org/publications/journals/help/jourhtml-tipslatex

search for them before submitting.
