New Users/Members

I know this is a rookie question but I do need help.  I have just created a new forum and want to add members.  I just can't figure out how.  So my questions are: How to I add users/members to my forum and/or how do they add themselves.

Thank you.

It is simple
tell your friends about your forum and give them the link
tell them to click register 
they type the required information 
DONE 

if didnt work, 
1. go to administration panel
2. click on general
3. click configuration
4. go down until you see this
5. do what i told you
6. click save
