To generate the formatted index, you should run the /MakeIndex/
program by typing the following command (where /Functions/ is the
name of the input file).

makeindex Functions.idx

When you latex a document that has \usepackage{makeidx} and \makeindex in the preamble, \index{<indexword>} commands in your text and \printindex before \end{document}, LaTeX itself will produce the .idx file (Functions.idx, in you example). Then, if you want to run MakeIndex from the Terminal ---instead of from within TeXShop or iTeXMac---, then you indeed type

makeindex Functions.idx

This will generate a file Functions.ind. You have now to _latex your document again_ to get the index at the end of your document.
