 Glacier is a command line client. You start it with
 
 java -jar glacier.jar
+
+Before you can use the glacier client you have to configure it with the command:
+
+*java -jar glacier.jar configure*
+
+It will ask you for your Amazon AWS access key and secret key. This data will be saved to the file .awscredentials in your home directory. 
 
 If you don't add any arguments it will print out a short help text. Right now it supports 5 commands (put, get, delete, getinv, configure) and 5 options (--vault, --file, --id, --description, --region). The command has to be the first argument, the options can be given in any order.
