How do I get a driving permit in Chicago?

I’ve lived in Chicago for a long time, so I’ve never had an urge to use anything other than public transit. But recently, I have my dogs with me, so I want to take them to a park. I know I need a permit first, but how can I get a driving permit if I live in Illinois?
