So you've created a track. What instrument have you put on it ? Is monitoring switched on ? Is Input set to MIDI:Virtual Keyboard ? What audio output are you using and have you selected it in Preferences/Audio Devices ?

When you "press" a key on the VKB do you see the red line that means you've selected the right input ? Do you see anything else happening in that track meter ?

Have you tried following the procedure in Chapter 3.30 etc in the User Guide ? Which part didn't work ?

More information helps. Trying to diagnose just "can't get any sound" is a bit tricky. It could be thousands of things.

The grey bar on the right is the MIDI activity meter in this Theme, which just shows that MIDI input is coming from the VKB into the Track. So there's no audio output shown in the Mixer ...

The Track settings in the Screenshot (Record Button enabled, Input Monitoring button enabled, VKB set as MIDI input) seem to be fine, so far.

So, as slipstick already asked: are you using a virtual instrument? www.reaper.fm/videos.php#ztr7B-PrUHY
Because it looks like you only have an Exciter Effects Plugin (La Petite Excite) loaded on the Track ...

Some DAWs (often costing a lot more than Reaper) do come with some software instruments bundled in - so you would get them, whether you wanted them or not.

Reaper has very few (3?) bundled software instruments so you can pick and choose the ones you want, from hundreds of third-parties. And you can pay anything from nothing to hundreds of $.

One good place to start is to purchase (£6 max) any issue of Computer Music magazine, printed or digital. This gives you access to its FileSilo from where you can download a wide variety of instruments and FX.

Here is the list, from cm248:
