For Step 2, simply choosing makeindex from the typesetting menu and then clicking the Typeset button should do it. BUT… that assumes you have already Typeset with the LaTeX selection form the drop-down Typeset menu. (Running LaTeX first writes the .idx file that makeindex needs to do its work.)

But you may want instead to choose pdflatexmk from the drop-down menu and then click the Typeset button: that will create the needed .idx, run makeindex, then run LaTeX again to typeset the index in the document.
