I'm learning using the book 'Building Energy Modeling with OpenStudio' and in the first simulation, when I went to run the simulation, a fatal error happened.

Initializing workflow.
Processing OpenStudio Measures.
Translating the OpenStudio Model to EnergyPlus.
Processing EnergyPlus Measures.
Starting Simulation.

Here is the meaningful line in the error. Look at that file and then update your question with informationo about the fatal error

(David beat me to it). Try again WITHOUT the OpenStudioResults measure (see 1st warning). If it's related to a bad OpenStudio workflow (e.g. incompatible measure version), consult the "out.osw" file. If you still encounter an EnergyPlus error, look for FATAL or SEVERE errors in the "run/eplusout.err" file.
