In general, it's a good idea to use a working case which uses a similar turbulence model as a starting point and make adjustments rather than creating a new setup from scratch. You could use a steady state (simpleFoam) case which uses e.g. kOmegaSST if you have one and you should look at the tutorials maybe there's a case using the model you want to use.

To get an idea about calculating the model specific initial values (specific 0 folder content for gammaInt and ReThetat) read the academic papers describing the model:

Hi Klaus,
Could you teach me to set up on the airfoil with KomegaSSTLM turbulence.
This is my set up:
