Install needed equipment

A fit-up is a frame-up—a scheme to make an innocent person appear guilty through fabricated evidence or false accusations.

Primarily British slang: The whole thing was a fit-up; those drugs were planted.

In theater, a fit-up is a temporary stage or the process of assembling one for touring productions.
