There are various ways to install that, also depending on the architecture of your splunk environment (single instance, distributed...).

This part of the documentation may be a good starting point: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Deployappsandadd-ons

If you want to get more concrete input here, it would greatly help if you could provide some info on your splunk architecture. Is this just a simple single instance splunk box, or part of a larger distributed setup?

For a simple single instance environment, you can just drop the extracted .tgz into etc/apps folder in your splunk install. Or install the open the tgz through the "install app from file" option in the "manage apps" page in Splunk Web GUI.
