Setting the outside spokes after the wheel is built is not a good idea if you don't know what you are doing. The forming of the spoke around the hub is going to effectively lengthen the spoke resulting in a decrease in tension. Ideally, the spoke should be formed to the hub while the wheel is in low tension but doing it later will result in the need to retention the wheel.
