Is there a reason you want to start so early? Does he seem ready??
Give him lots to drink and put on underwear. Put him on the toilet/potty every hour for 10 minutes. If he makes, cheer and clap and give him a small treat. When he has an accident, show him that this is supposed to go in the toilet & have him help with clean up.

Time, consistency, and patience.
Starting with a low potty seat can be good instead of a seat that covers the toilet. The bigger seat can be intimidating and uncomfortable when first starting. I don't think my son was quite so young when we started but I don't really remember. Basically you just have him sit on it for a couple of minutes periodically throughout the day, when he pees in it you act excited about it and say good job, etc. When he doesn't, don't make a big deal about and just go about your day - "all done? Okay, let's wash out hands." Eventually he'll start making the connection and be on his way to consistently using the toilet. Standing comes later.
