Just once or to set up a primer system for frequent use?

If you are referring to priming it after an in-frame or rod/main bearing replacement ...
here is an older video where i used a 12-volt pump to do it on my own truck. Starts at about 1:50 minutes into the video ...
I use a 120-volt pump nowadays and a bit better method ...
When I am helping someone here, I use this one to prime the engine after a rebuild or replacing rod/main bearings...

I made an adapter for it that fits into the large oil pressure relief valve plug just above the oil filter (to get a better volume of oil flowing thru the engine).
I remove the oil-pan drain plug, I also remove relief valve the plug, and the guts of the relief valve. Then I connect up the pump to the large opening of the relief valve plug. I use a catch pan under the oil pan and pump the oil in. It circulates thru the engine and back down into the catch pan. I let it circulate for a good 10 minutes or so, flushing and lubricating the engine any time major work is done where the engine might have a chance possible to dry-start.
I also bar the engine over by hand while doing this.
That is just how I do it any ways.
