Your team is not being very helpful. :-) "IDX" is a common abbreviation for "index" or "indexer", but there is never a directory by that name.

Often, an app that is already installed in a staging environment just gets copied from there straight into Production. That can change depending on the architecture of the two environments, however.

The usual method for installing an app is to explode the tarball into the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps directory and restart Splunk. Clusters have a different procedure so let us know if you have one. See the docs at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/Overview/Distributedinstall
