How exactly does one install `.egg` files?

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.

I think easy_install has been replaced by pip, try pip install sphinx. Also, the egg file is just a zip, so you could unzip it and then use python setup.py install.

unzip setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg didn't work after I downloaded the .egg, and I still can't open it. Am I doing something wrong?

Oh, Sphinx' egg is a zip file, but setuptools seems like a bash file, here says to run as sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg --prefix=~

I did that as well - it says that there's no such file or directory (I couldn't unzip sphinx either).
