I try to deploy on shared hosting with passenger my rails3 application  
but not all necessary gems are installed there.

I have not sudo rights to install the gems.

I tried to use bundler but without success so far. (See my previous  
posts  
)

I cobsider using RVM because I heard it may help me.

But have not idea how to use it.

Could you give me step by step instructions how to do it?

Each shared hosting environment is configured differently. Check with  
your web host’s documentation to find out how to install gems on their  
setup. You may need to submit a support ticket with them.

Hope this helps.
