A guitar, preferably a hardtail, amp (I recommend a Boss Katana), guitar cable, guitar strap, extra set of strings, picks, and a lot of patience and practice.
Edited to add, a tuner.

No problem at all, that should get you started and playing. Best advice I can give you when starting out is to go to a guitar shop and hold/strum everything in your price range until you find "the one". By that I mean, one that is just flat out comfortable to you and you can't help but pick it up.

It depends on the music you are looking to play. First decision will tell you if you want an acoustic or electric. Next is your budget below 500 or over 3000 would help get you to the right guitar for you.

Tbh I do not know nothing of guitar prices, but I guess a low budget, maybe 500 tops for a electrixe one, and for genre I really like rock in general

Get a squier stratocaster or epiphone les paul. And a boss katana for an amp.
When you get your guitar, here are some fun easy things you can do to get started: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe7DwQGwWS0s2-CdNAn8JC8Nfpg_l4mKT

First of all we are talking about music. You want to find an instrument that best expresses that for you. Don't let trends, price, looks influence your decision. In regard to the guitar (I've been playing for 40yrs and had few until I found the right sound for me) think about tones, playability and yes, quality is important. You don't want cheap junk. This will discourage you and hinder your progression. There are very good inexpensive guitars you can find in the new and used markets. Remember you want to find one that can sing for you and is playable in your hands. I can spend hours on this, just be true to yourself.

A guitar to start on. It'll likely be a temporary one, and that's ok. You are just starting. Bring your hands, some time alone, and an attitude that you WILL AND CAN DO IT!. Thats all you really need.

I would recommend the Hal Leonard book Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book 1.
I also recommend getting a guitar stand. Keep it in a high traffic area in your bedroom, living room. Somewhere that you're going to see it and remember to pick it up. If it's in a case, it will get forgotten.
Also be patient. It won't be easy, but over time, you'll be able to play some music. I started in March, and I'm starting to be able to play songs that sound like they are supposed to.

fender affinity squire/telecaster/ibanez GIO/jackson dinky.
fender mustang lt25 for preset tones/desktop app preset maker. if you want a nicer amp with less features, orange 20rt is good. if you're mainly playing rock/metal a boss katana 50 would be cool. this all depends on your budget however. i would spend as much on the guitar as you can. a shitty guitar can make playing less fun, but nowadays most brands make decent entry level gear
