Resources to become Product Manager

As the title says, looking to break into a product manager role. Wondering if anyone has a guide / bullet points on what is the bare minimum I would need to start applying for jobs and interviewing. Also, additional resources on top of the bare minimum would also be appreciated.

For context, I do not have any CS experience or background. I am not able to find any other thread that talks about resources to become a PM.
