Yep you have air in the system and it needs to be bled. If you haven't the proper gear, get a friend to sit in the drivers seat. Open caliper bleed nipple, friend presses pedal down and holds it there. Close bleed nipple, friend allows pedal to come to the top. Open bleed nipple, friend presses pedal down and holds, you close the nipple and so on. Keep an eye on the master cylinder fluid level though, you don't want air getting in from there. Good luck!
