Think in terms of proper nouns (names) versus regular nouns, as someone
mentioned yesterday.

Would you say, "Call the Sylvia"? Would you say, "Give me book"?

You do not use an article with a proper noun.

By the way, the verb that you want is "set up" (two words) but the noun and
adjective are "setup."
