The short version to get you started:

1. Relax your geometry
2. Perform the frequency calculations either by finite-differences (IBRION = 5 or 6) or by density-functional perturbation theory (IBRION = 7 or 8) depending on which vasp-version you have available. Please, see the manual

For extended discussion of accurate of forces, size of displacement, selective dynamics, etc. please see previous threads in the forum.

Cheers,
