It totally depends on the type of cms you are using! Use * i.e for all bots and hide the pages which you don't want to let the crawler to crawl Also additionally you can put the robots.txt file on the root directory of the domain.

It depends! First of all how are you working your web page with a CMS, a framework or just html.

Depending on this you must make the configuration of your robots file, restricting access to folders that you do not want to be indexed, pointing to the sitemap.xml and caching the necessary files to save loading time.

Take a .txt file and decide which page do you want to get follow and indexed by search engine and which page do not want.
And write the below :

User-agent: *
Allow: / which page you want to get follow and index by search engine.
Disallow: / which page do not want to get follow and index.

Leave Allow: / It will follow and index all page.

Leave Disallow: / It will not follow and index any page.

And upload this robots.txt file in index page on your web server.

Thank you

1.Place your robots.txt file in the top-level directory of your website code to simplify crawling and indexing.
2.Structure your robots.txt properly, like this: User-agent → Disallow → Allow → Host → Sitemap. This way, search engine spiders access categories and web pages in the appropriate order.
3.Make sure that every URL you want to “Allow:” or “Disallow:” is placed on an individual line. If several URLs appear on one single line, crawlers will have a problem accessing them.
