install of Trac XML-RPC Plugin fails using supplied instructions

[jrem@…]

This plugin is unable to be installed since the instruction

#easy_install -Z -U ​http://trac-hacks.org/svn/xmlrpcplugin/trunk

fails with error: Unexpected HMTL page found at ​http://trac-hacks.org/svn/xmlrpcplugin/trunk

while also there is no clear instruction as to how to install the given zip file.

Unzipping the file and cd'ing into the directory where setup.py is then running the command: # python setup.py tracrpc

didn't work either. The result is a directive on usage followed by invalid command 'tracrpc'

Run out of guesses as to what to try next...
