Yes - there are particular steps for setting up a tent depending on the size and type of tent model you have purchased. Make sure all poles are correctly connected according to instructions before attempting to set up the tent itself; stake out each corner securely; extend rainfly over top if necessary; raise center pole into position; tighten rope lines until taut; adjust guy-lines accordingly for stability; add additional stakes where needed for extra security against wind gusts etc.; test zippers/doors work properly before packing away materials used in setup process!
