If it is a safety pilot, then there is a knob on a metal box at the end of the gas tube leading to the pilot. The knob has settings for off, start pilot, run. Turn it to start pilot. You should find that you can push the knob down and if you listen carefully, you will hear a slight sound of gas. You will need a long match, a splinter lighted from a candle, a wooden match held in pliers, or something to get flame into where the pilot is (on a water heater or space heater or furnace, you may have to lay on the floor). Hold the knob down, light the pilot and hold the knob until the flame has a chance to heat the safety thermocouple. After you have held it for 35-45 seconds, you should be able to let go and have it say lit. If it does not, try again and hold longer. If then it doesn't, call for repairs.
If it stays lit, turn the knob to the run position and the main flame should come on.

Natural gas pilot lights are pretty much universal in lighting sequence. There should be directions on the regulating valve either in the furnace (remove the front cover) or on the water heater. Turn off the gas at the valve and the regulator, wait 15 minutes. Turn the main gas valve on and set the regulator to 'Pilot'. Light the pilot while depressing the red valve on the regulator. After one minute to allow the thermocouple to get hot, turn the regulator vale to 'ON'.

on a wall heater the pilot light is located under the little door on the bottom of the heater. Instuctions are/should be printed on the door or somewhere on the inside of the heater.

most importantly-do not immediately relight. You could blow yourself up. The gas source must be turned off for a period and ventilate the area-then follow the directions given.
