That's a bit like saying "I bought a car, how fast does it go?":D

Aren't there instructions with the tent?

Most tents nowadays have pole sections connected inside with elastic and are usually colour coded for ease of use.

Take a bbq, air bed, sleeping bag and pillow. A camp chair is good for sitting outside. Oh, and don't forget the drink.;)

You need a big 'ammer, for bashing t'pegs in with.

Thats about all I learned before I was kicked out of the scouts! :D

The smaller ones now use fibre glass poles, which are in sections linked by an elastic cord down the centre. You just put the poles together a bit like a fishing rod, then pass it through loops in the fabric and into a pocket at either end by the ground. Once all three(?) poles are in place, the tent is self supporting and you can move it to where you want it on the pitch, then just put pegs in around the base. The outer, usually then goes over the top, simply tied to the pole working from the top out.

Takes longer to write, than to do.

Sleeping bag, head torch, stove for the tea, self inflating mattress (the ground is harder than you expect), something to carry water in and kettle/mug etc...

Firstly, make sure there's no one around with a camera, intent on showing you up, attempting to put your tent up.
