Have VNAV set in your flight plan

To get the ILS frequency from your FMC, you need to have your flight plan set all the way up to your approach runway. You don't need the VNAV set but you do need the LNAV.
Press INDEX
Press button next to ARR DATA

If you did not file a flight plan, selecting ARR DATA will show a blank screen.
ILS frequency shown as FREQ, your course as LOC BRG

ILS radios transmit two signals: One helps finding the vertical approach path (glide slope, G/S) and another for the horizontal track (locator, LOC).
Enter ILS frequency into both NAV radios
Enter LOC BRG into A/P (COURSE)
Descend to 3000ft before intercepting the ILS localizer

If you reach 3000 feet and you still have LNAV enabled, then you should see two diamonds next to your artificial horizon. The diamonds should be solid pink and the vertical diamond should above the middle.
When both diamonds are pink, press APP on the A/P, before the vertical diamond reaches the middle

? Do not press APP when the vertical diamond reaches the middle. If you do, the airplane will pitch down slightly.
If vertical diamond is empty, has pink outline and is at the bottom, go around

Touchdown

After touchdown you will need to react immediately

After touchdown, the plane will bounce and start to go into the sky again. Right when the wheels touch down, push the yoke forward, apply reverse thrust and raise the spoilers. While the airplane is slowing down, disconnect the autopilot and turn off autothrottle.

Congratulations, the airplane has landed.
