If you're trying out RedHat for the first time then it's probably a good idea for you to use CentOS. While it's not illegal for you to use RedHat you will be missing important updates to your system. CentOS is a community build of RedHat sources and reflect RHEL as closely as possible. Please check that out as an option. Here's a link to CentOS.
Is this your first time using Linux? Perhaps RedHat is not the best choice for you at all. Try taking this quiz to find out a list of distributions that would be good for you to try out first.
If you're still completely set on using RedHat can you please provide more information? What version of RedHat is it? If you don't know which version then can you provide a link with where you downloaded it so it can be analyzed? If possible, post a screenshot of the error you're seeing. In my experience, RedHat installers are pretty straight forward so having a screenshot of your problem would help me to help you.

which walks you through the installation of Centos 6 and configuring a Fluxbox Desktop, which you can substitute for any other if you wish at step 13, just replace it with, for example, kde-plasma-desktop.

Centos 6 is free and has long term support.
It's not illegal to use RH without paying for a subscription; I have personally confirmed this. You just won't receive updates. Generally it is still recommended to use CentOS because of updates if you're not using a trial or paid subscription of RedHat.
Distribution: K/Ubuntu 18.04-14.04, Scientific Linux 6.3-6.4, Android-x86, Pretty much all distros at one point...

Rep:
The only illegal thing would be if they tried to use forged account credentials to access updates. Both CentOS & Scientific Linux are essentially Red Hat "clones,"... Rebuilt from source with only trademarked materials, and any proprietary components changed or removed.
The vast majority of what is in RHEL is licensed under the GPL (and some under the Apache license, I believe),... so Red Hat can't really (meaning, functionally) place a limitation on redistribution. You're just going to get -0- support, and no updates...
