The way I know is to open the lines and then have someone press the pedal down and hold it.
Tighten the line and done.

start with the line farthest from the Master and work your way to the closest...

I think he's talking about bleeding it before it's installed. If that's the case, follow the manufacturers instructions that come with the master cylinder. Chances are, you'll still end up with a small amount of air that will need to be bled at the caliper bleeder valve.
