we have put ours up twice, last time took 45 mins including pegging, not sure if this is the right way but we:

1- put all the poles in

2- lossen all the loops near the pins on one side

3- raise each set of poles and insert pins into ens of poles, after first one peg a cople of guys at the back

4- get child to hold front pole so whole tent stays up

5- starting at the back pole shuffle each set forward so tent is strectched a bit

6- peg front

7- finish pegging guys

8 peg round bottom

9 put in ground sheet

10 - open wine/beer

works for us

We did it slightly differently, after faffing about with it for a bit, so I'm not sure how long it took.
We put all the poles in and put the pins into them with them all on the ground.
Then we collected all the poles together, so the tent was all concertina'd up (if you get what I mean)
Guyed out the back (1 guy)
Walked forwards (holding all poles upright) depositing poles as necessary then put one guy in the front then went round and straightened it all up and guyed/pegged it out.
