Brakes not working

I have a 98 Cherokee that I just changed out pads rotors calipers plus back brakes. Brakes stopped working after that. I did some research and now I've replaced the master cylinder and brake booster. STILL NO BRAKES! I checked for leaks and I noticed brake fluid on my back passenger tire. Haven't had time to inspect it further but I'm really hoping for some advice.

Did you bleed the brake lines?

I did the front only because brakes were working until I changed the front out

You only bled the front brakes because the brakes were working until you changed the front?

Fix the leak at the rear and completely bleed the brakes properly.
