How exactly does one install `.egg` files?

Writer Andrew Mclaughlin

When I tried downloading the Sphinx installer here, my computer couldn’t find a default application to run the installer.

easy_install doesn’t work either. I’m running Python 2.7 but only have easy_install for 2.5 and 2.6

Furthermore, the analogous one for 2.7 is an .egg file.

python -m easy_install <package>.egg

pip installed packages should go to "virtualenv" environment.

You can go to this setuptools page and download the ez_setup.py script. Open the terminal emulator and type

sudo python /path/to/your/ez_setup.py

Later you will install the setuptools and the easy_install command will be available for your python. Then you just need to type easy_install to install you egg file.
