You start by reading this board. There is already a ton of information here to help get you started. Search for shit in the catalog.
If you want c++ books there is this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list
However it is not typically suggested as a beginner language.

You need a text editor and a compiler. I guess you can always use an IDE like this:
http://www.codeblocks.org/
or that:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/lunar
You'll still need a compiler (something like GCC on Linux and MinGW-w64 on Windows).

If you're doing Windows development, you'd be better served by downloading Visual Studio (for OP, that's Microsoft's IDE).

not OP, but I'm a math student trying to into /prog/ so that I can actually do some proper linear algebra … I'm starting in on C++ Primer by Lippman, but is there a more general book I could read alongside, a guide to the structure and thinking process of programming? I have basic Python and R, so I'm not an absolute neophyte but I'm wanting to do some proper learning now

sticky seemed to be recommendations of math books for programmers (I've read a number of them) whereas I'm more looking for a programming book for mathematicians

My reason for entering the world of programming was to make games, so I started with shittastical yet fun engines like GameMaker. Gave me a feel for what kind of structure a game program needs. Learning C# after having used gamemaker for years allowed me to see what object oriented programming and polymorphism really are. I am now trying to get my head around C++ OOP to develop in Unreal Engine.
