Setting up new violin?

Question:I have just bought my first violin and am not sure how to set it up. I finally got the bridge set up right, but don't know how tight the strings need to be? I don't want to break anything already! At the moment I can't get any sound when I try with the bow?

Also, once you get the hang of it, how easy is it to play?

you need to get a tuner and the big string is G then D then A then E. and it took me3 years to be totally 100% comfortable with playing.
