Ps3 – setup a PS3 to use a PS4 Dual Shock 4 controller without a PS3 controller

controllersps3

So I just bought a PS3 Slim but it did not come with a controller. I couldn't find any PS3 controllers so I got a Dual Shock 4 instead.

Is there any way I can use the Dual Shock 4 with the PS3 console without a PS3 controller?

(I'm a Xbox user so I don't know much about this.)
