Are the pole springs intact? If not, you're going to have a bit of a jigsaw on your hands!
I've never had one of these, but looking at pictures on Google, it seems to be a fairly standard six leg frame tent.
You basically want to build the roof frame and the top half of the legs (generally known as having the tent on it's knees). You may also want to pop the stubby canopy poles at this stage, as they can be tricky to reach when the tent is at it's full height. Some people peg a couple of guy lines out, in case the wind picks up (the lines need to have enough slack in them to allow you to lift the tent to it's full height in the next step).
Once your roof and the top of the legs are together, put the canvas over the top and (using two or three people) lift one side of the tent and slot the bottom half of the legs in. Then move on to the other side.
Once the tent is lifted, I would peg out the guys, the corners and a couple of pegs along the sides. You might move these later, but it keeps the canvas from blowing away...
Then you need to put in any interior support poles and the kitchen poles (I assume it has a kitchen area, because it's a relum with a K at the end...).
Finally, clip your inners in and peg them out.
There are some general instructions HERE.
You may also find the following diagram helpful - it isn't for your tent, but the same principles will likely apply, but I suspect the Relum doesn't have a front and back vertical central pole.
