if you have a private teacher, you should definitely ask him. if not, there are some good violin vibrato vids on youtube, heres one: http://youtube.com/watch?v=g-pQYMOuOlY
There are also various exercises you can do to help make it easier. if you are trying to learn it by yourself, just look up a few sites. You should always consult a professional because some people learn it wrong, and it takes a long time to unlearn it.

Just like on guitar, move your finger back and forth quickly to make the string go back and forth (or up and down depending on how you look at it) on the ... in guitar language we call it the fretboard. Whatever you violinists call it. the "neck" perhaps.

on every string, start off slowly with your first second third and fourth finger moving it in the technique (i can’t describe it so i hope u know at least THAT!) in quarter, eighth, sixteenth, and then REALLY fast beats

Just wiggle your finger, but don’t exactly move it.. Hard to explain.
Its kinda like if you were to push a button really fast, after a while, your finger doesn’t come up anymore and thats how it is.
