Do I zoom with the camera or do I have to adjust the lens manually?

I'm a newbie and just bought my first DSLR. I'm confused on how to use my zoom lens. First, let me say I bought the Nikon D5200 with the 18-55 mm kit lens. I have been trying to figure out how to zoom the lens and I'm just not sure if there's a way to do it automatically with the camera or if I have to adjust it manually. I am learning as I go, but this will help a lot if I can figure this one thing out. Any help is greatly appreciated!
