How to set up a new phone without the home button working

If the home button is broken or malfunctioning, there is no way to complete setup. It is an essential piece of hardware. If this is truly a new device, take it back for a refund or exchange. If it is a new to you used device, then see if the seller will refund you, or pay to get it fixed.
