In English, when building a shelf, for example, the instruction booklet will
go along the lines of "Step 1. ~~~~. Step 2. ~~~~ etc."

In Japanese, I know that you can explain methods by going まずは、それで and ついに but
is there a Japanese equivalent to "steps"? What if I wanted to say "There are
3 steps you have to follow"?

Outlining methods in Japanese
You can use ステップ or 手順【てじゅん】.

>   * 手順1, 手順2, 手順3, ...
>   * ステップ1, ステップ2, ステップ3, ...
>   * Xをするには3つの手順が必要です。
>   * Xをするには3ステップが必要です。 (You can use ステップ as a counter.)
>

Also note that the proper word for 'finally' in this context is 最後【さいご】に, not
ついに. ついに means 'at last'.
