説明書?せつめいしょ?An explanatory guide? – Jack Bosma Aug 18 '19 at 17:34
There is no equivalent. One way would be to change the verb where appropriate and make something like 寿司の作り方、漫画の描き方、ボスの倒し方, etc.
Or as the other answer said, use a generic word like 方法.
When English nintendo website use “How to Charge the Controller”, In Japanese nintendo website use “コントローラーを充電する”. It has no meaning of “how to”, but this is a popular way. You can use “コントローラーの充電のしかた” too.
When you google “How to become a teacher?“ in Japanese, you should use “先生 なる 方法” or “先生になるには”.
