If you are over 18, you have to take the permit test at DMV. As long as you study your manual, it is a very easy test. 50 questions and you can miss 11 in total, and there is a skip-button you can use if you get stuck on one, and have an hour to take it. I'd highly recommend getting the permit first if you are over 18 and have never driven before, and after passing the 4 hour course (you can do this online) and getting the permit, enrolling in a local traffic school to get a minimum of three lessons before going for the full license and road test. It helped me become a more confident and defensive driver.
I did mine online when i was 15. When you're older than 18 you dont have to take your per mit test. You can just get your license.
