Okay, to begin Litecoin mining you're going to need your own Litecoin address. To get your own Litecoin address, visit the Litecoin website, https://litecoin.org/ and download the one corresponding with your operating system.
Once it's downloaded, your wallet will be out of sync and you'll have to allow it some time to synchronize to the network.
You can let that run in the background to allow it to synchronize, all you need out of it is your Litecoin address.
Now that you have your Litecoin address, you want to sign up on a pool.
I recommend the pool LTCRabbit. If you'd like to join, here's the link https://www.ltcrabbit.com/#afepn9
If not, you can find any pool you want.
LTCRabbit has preconfigured miner configs that all you have to do is edit the worker information, so it's very easy to get started this guide will be based using LTCRabbit
On LTCRabbit, sign up, https://www.ltcrabbit.com/#afepn9, and then login and go to My Account > My Workers
Add a worker, and then go to Getting Started
You can CPU mine or GPU mine, I currently use CPU mine, look at their preconfigured mining setups, https://www.ltcrabbit.com/index.php?page=gettingstarted
Download the one you want, I recommend CPU, and open the folder, right click the .bat file, and edit the worker and password to correspond yours, save, and run.
