Default bench bleeding cmc really nessecary?

I'm just about to install my new master cylinder and I don't have the tools right now to properly bench bleed it. I need it running by tommorw so would I be safe to just install it and bleed the lines?

do you mean clutch master or brake master, when i installed my clutch master i
would just hold the clutch in and loosen the line going into the master, do that several times then bleed it through the slave sylinder.

the clutch pedal sticks to the floor after bleeding, but I still feel light pressure. is there still air in the lines?

I think I may have blown the seal on my slave. Everytime I fill the resevoir it goes dry and all the fluid ends up in the slave boot. do I need to replace or was it just bad installation?
