Depends on what type of rear hub, and what kind of dropouts you have.
Most bikes these days have vertical dropouts AKA slots where you mount the wheel axle. This means you have to keep the derailer to provide chain tension.
If you have a freewheel hub, then just unscrew the multi-speed freewheel, and stick a single-speed on there. With a bit of luck you get the chain line good enough so that it is immediately rideable.
If you have a cassette rear hub, buy a "single speed conversion kit". Remove your cassette, pull it apart. Pick out the sprocket of your choice, figure out where to put it to get an OK chain line. Add the spacer(s) and reassemble.
Again, you need to keep the rear derailer as a chain tensioner(or buy a separate chain tensioner). Lock it in place either with the adjustment screws, or with a short length of shifter cable.
