Same principle as bleeding brakes. Have someone depress clutch, open valve on slave cylinder, close valve, release clutch. Repeat until you see no bubbles, and make sure to keep the master cylinder full. Or just get a vacuum pump and pull the fluid through until you see no air coming out.

Easier way:

Find a container and fill the bottom with about 2 inches of brake fluid. Attach a hose from the bleed valve to the container. Pump the clutch until no more bubbles come out. Be careful to not let the fluid get to low and suck in more air.
