You don't pump a clutch pedal like you do a brake pedal when bleeding the system. have a person work the clutch pedal with their hand. Hold it down and quickly open and close the slave bleeder screw. You need to shut the bleeder fast.it takes a good dozen repetitions to gt the air out. After every 3 times top up the reservoir or you'll have to start all over again.
You don't mention what year, make or model vehicle you have. Some Nissan's have a strange double line system which I've had to re do to a single line system. Mitsubishi 3000 GT's have a "dampner" in the lines that needs to be removed as it keeps the hydraulics from pressurizing to move the pressure plate even when the air is completely bled out of the system.
You probably just have air in the hydraulics yet.

It helps immensely to know what kind of vehicle the clutch *pedal* is in.
Hydraulic clutch systems have to be bled - some are similar to bleeding brakes, but others have specific procedures. You can try looking up the procedure for your vehicle online (youtube may have a video of it).
I replaced the clutch/flywheel/slave cylinder in my 2012 Nissan Versa 6-Speed Hatchback - the whole job went really smooth, but I got to the end, and could not figure out how to bleed the clutch. The Haynes manual I had purchased strangely made no mention of it, and neither did anything I could find online.
Fortunately I ran across a youtube video of someone bleeding a similar Nissan clutch system - and it all became clear. The connection to the slave cylinder had a clip holding it in place, and when you removed it, the connection would pop twice to come off. All I had to do to bleed the system was pop it back on *once*, and then work the clutch (with a piece of tubing on the fitting next to it to keep the fluid from going everywhere).
Good luck!

The clutch was not installed correctly and it is binding.

You have to Bench Bleed the Master just like on Brakes. Either a Flare Plug or Bleeder Kit will work. With the Plug you just pump it till it's hard, the plastic fittings and tubes in the Bleeder Kit is to route the tube into the reservoir and pump until no bubbles. In both cases reattach the line and bleed.
