How 2 configure litecoin core 0.18?

Hi,
I don’t know anything about how the configuration of this software works.
I am totally new to this and want to mine.
And where do you place your “codes”?
Can anybody help this beginner with basic info on how to configure and start mining with Litecoin Core?
What are the steps?
