For beginners, I recommend the Pure Data Extended version, which is
precompiled and includes most of the externals available. For OSX, get
the .dmg file; for PC, .exe. The package has it's own installer. It's
not the latest and greatest version of PD, but it works fine.

Also, you may want to take any questions or problems you have to the
Pure Data discussion lists. You can find them at
http://puredata.info/community/lists/. It's a very active list with lots
of experts there who can help you out.
