Have you tried your luck on youtube? There are tons of videos which will guide you through the installation.
probably should have been more specific, that's my bad, im having issues with the internet settings in the startup which the tutorials i have seen all gloss over that part and effectively say "figure it out yourself"
To which network is your Proxmox VE node connected to?
Is there a router in this network for e. g. connections to the internet?

Node is the hardware (or virtual machine) you're installing the software to. The name of the software is Proxmox VE 
Ohh ok
Could you elaborate on what you mean by network
Is that like service provider, ipv4, default gateway or something else?

If you have a residential setup: Use the IP address of your router as gateway and DNS. Chose an IP address for Proxmox that is outside the DHCP-range of your router (but valid and within the local subnet). Make sure the Proxmox host is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable (as Proxmox does not support WiFi).

Thank you for taking the time to explain
I dont have a ethernet cable currently but i will look in to getting one soon
As for the hostname (FQND) field ive heard you need to own a domain for that but ive also heard that if you set it as a domain that doesn't exist it should work fine.
Should i look into getting a domain or should I leave it set as a domain that doesn't exist
That explained the problems you have before when trying to connect to your newly installed Proxmox.
No need to buy/rent a domain name. Try not to use something that could (in the future) exists and use something intended for local domains
myfirstpve.local : EDIT: Maybe .local is not a good idea (according to post #16). Maybe use
myfirstpve.home.arpa as suggested by post #18.

Thanks you for pointing this out. I edited my post accordingly. Can you recommend a local/home domain that (is guaranteed) not to conflict (in the future)?
I don't know about guaranteed, but there is RFC8375 that states the special-use domain home.arpa.
