Try a jump start and then have the battery and alternator tested.

If it is a low battery have it charged DO NOT JUMP START IT AND DRIVE IT ON A LOW CHARGED BATTERY ! This can burn up the internal voltage regulator in the alternator. If it is fully charged and connected securely and still just clicks the check the connections of the battery cables at the starter solenoid and body ground or engine block ground. Remove and clean and reinstall . Disconnect the positive cable before you remove the positive from the starter solenoid. If this doesn't work could be a bad starter relay even though you hear it click it could still be bad.
