Well, if you have a pressure bleeder put the cap on the master and start at the rear most caliper and crack the bleed valve. I use the old time method and have my Wife pump and Hold the pedal. You may need to tap the caliper with a soft, plastic or rubber hammer to let the bubbles float to the top.

Can you go, right rear, left rear, right front, and left front, by just watching and refilling the master cylinder?

Bleed calipers RR, LR, RF, LF. Don't forget to bleed BOTH bleed screws on rear calipers. It doesn't hurt to tap caliper with a rubber or wooden mallet to shake loose any air bubbles. This is particularly important if you are filling your hydraulic system for the first time.
