Start be taking him/her inside more often. After a few nights keep him/her inside during the night. Make sure ther is a litterbox available, and he/she knows the location. Then keep him/her inside but let him/her outside occasionally. If he/she is a very social cat, make sure ther is always someone there for him/her.
If your cat is afraid of going outside, you can try desensitizing them by slowly introducing them to the outdoors in a controlled manner, such as using a leash or carrier. Make sure to create a safe and secure outdoor space for them to explore, and offer treats and positive reinforcement to help them overcome their fears. Consulting with a veterinarian or a feline behavior specialist for additional guidance may also be beneficial.
There is no sure answer to that. You cannot "make" a cat go outside if it does not want to. Many cats live happily indoors all their lives, as long as they have plenty of toys, playtime and affection with their owners or other cats living in the household.
Please make sure the cat is fully vaccinated/wormed/fleaed, is fully adult (a little kitten will not survive an attack from a full Tom cat, fox or coyote), neutered/spayed for at least eight weeks before letting your pet outside.
However, if your cat wants to go outside, and the outside environment is safe enough (no busy roads, no larger animals or humans that could harm a cat, no unneutered cats wandering around, etc.), then you can start letting your cat out in short bursts.
Let the cat in your backyard for a few minutes, and gradually increase the time as the cat gets bolder. It is recommended that you keep the cat on a harness at first. Play with your cat outside, and let them explore at their leisure. When you do let your cat outside for the first time, it is best to do so in the morning before the cat is fed, so they will come back to the house. Even better is to train your cat to come back at the sound of a noise that the cat will associate with food: Rattling a biscuit box, banging a can or feeding bowl. Even scattering used cat litter around the outside of the house allows the cat to "smell" its way home if it wanders quite far.
Giving a cat a sheltered place to hide in the backyard is also a good idea, or better yet install a cat flap so the cat can enter the house as it pleases.
Your cat will need a scratching post and a litter box. If it is a male cat, fixed or unfixed, it may mark its new territory with urine. I have even seen a few female cats do this if no males are around to be the top cat, but products are available to remove the smell.
Why would you want your cat to go outside? More cats get run over outside than inside your house. Get a litter box and let the poor thing stay safe!
First, make sure he or she is fixed. Next-Don't let them outside! It's dangerous to let cats outside these days and shortens their life greatly.

How do you stop cats from going into your roof and onto the ceiling of your house if every possible hole is covered?
You can try using deterrents such as motion-activated devices that emit a high-frequency sound to deter cats from entering the roof spaces. Additionally, make sure to remove any potential attractions such as food sources or nesting materials that may be drawing the cats to the area.

How carrier look like?
A cat carrier is a compartment with a handle. It usually has a door with bars running vertically. To keep it closed, it usually has a small lock or lever to open. You should put a small blanket in the carrier when the cat is inside.

It really depends on where your cat grew up. If your cat was beat or forced to go outside, then it may dislike going outside for the rest of its life.
