If it’s new pump and dry it will only pull up air you need oil in the pump to seal and create the suction to draw from the sump this would be done ideally before fitting the pump
You can try and get pressure by filling oil via the oil pressure switch take of on the block and cranking with plugs out etc but I wouldn’t keep doing this.
If this doesn’t work the pump will have to be primed. IMO
