Used to be, companies sold simple kits for starting home darkrooms like this one for 120 film:
Ansco Developing Kit.
It basically consisted of a few small trays, a contact printer, thermometer, a film developing reel, film drying clips, tongs for the trays and a few other assorted things to do the basics for making contact prints from your processed negatives.
It was a quick, inexpensive way to get started making direct contact prints (same size as the negative), but now these kits are being sold more as collectors items than for practical purposes.
It's too easy to be intimidated by the process of establishing a full-blown darkroom when you can make contact prints with a few simple things. Yes, it takes a while to gather, organize and use these things, but nothing like building a complete darkroom.
Once you make a few of these inexpensive prints, then you can decide if an enlarger and all accompanying accessories are worth the effort to your personal way of working. Many an amateur make hundreds of prints without ever owning an enlarger and a full blown dedicated darkroom. In fact, most just wanted small prints to place in a photo album and the contact print fit that bill exactly.
You can recreate the basics of this kit very easily;
A film developing tank - (probably your most expensive purchase unless you find one used)
A set of 4 trays big enough for your paper - Just about any plastic tray that will hold about an inch and a half of chemistry and that is chemically resistant.
A length of clothesline and some clothes pins for film drying
A small safelight
A reliable thermometer - lots of choices, but make sure it has the proper range
A pane of glass from a print frame, slightly larger than the negative and de-burred with a whetstone on the edges to avoid cutting yourself (clean very carefully before each use).
A set of bottles for chemicals - some use old soda bottles, but brown plastic photo bottles are cheap. (don't use old oil containers, they can never be cleaned enough to be useful)
A low voltage, 15 to 30 watt overhead light bulb that shines directly on a flat surface (for printing)
Access to a sink you can use to process the film and wash your prints; doesn't have to be in the darkroom itself, but if you use the bathroom with the windows and door blacked-out, you're set.
Chemicals: Developers for film and paper (one each), stop bath, fixer and photoflo (a very mild detergent that helps prevent water spotting on your drying negatives).
Cheap Nitrile gloves to avoid exposure to chemicals
Here's a website that describes in detail how one photographer uses Large Format negatives to make contact prints:

Same principal, only you'd be working with smaller negatives.
It's a process and it's involved, but it can be quite satisfying if you are so inclined to take it on.
