Because all of your portable hammocks come with their own hammock stand, there's not too much to go over in terms of setup. The steel stand will usually have a clear hook or similar mechanism to use to attach your portable hammock, and then you're ready to go. Things get a little trickier if you want to leave the stand at home to save some space, in which case you'll need some conveniently located poles or trees to get the job done. Depending on the ends of your hammock, you'll want to go about using the environment differently. If you're feeling more toolsy, you could simply bring a few metal stakes and a hammer and turn any sturdy, tall surface into the perfect frame for your hammock.
