Can I use my Mac mini to find my iPhone 6s?

I can't find "find my iPhone" using my cloud. I would like to be able to use my Mac mini to find my phone. What gives?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Was the iPhone configure to FindMyiPhone on iCloud prior to your losing it?

yes. I haven't lost it, by the way. I just wanted a way to make that stupid ding when I misplace it. (which I do all the time in my 3 story townhouse) Used to do it with my iPad, but that is on the fritz. I was able to load it on my Mac mini, but I couldn't do it by bringing up the cloud in system preferences.

Did you try logging into iCloud.com using a browser and use Find My Phone there?
