Bleed the master cylinder (sometimes called "bench bleeding" but can be done while installed in the car)
Bleed the front wheel cylinders
Bleed the rear wheel cylinders

Method 1

The fluid prevents air from going back up into the cylinder.

Put about 1" new fluid in a clear glass
put a hose from the bleeder to the bottom of the glass, making sure the new fluid covers end of hose
Crack the bleeder slightly
pump the brake pedal while you watch the glass. When air bubbles stop coming out, it's done.
tighten bleeder
top-up the master cylinder
bleed the next wheel cylinder
