You dont have to install any app. Its a system feature.

I don't think that there is a specific find my phone app, I believe that it is a setting.

There isn't an app, is there? Find My Phone is just in Settings. Just sign into the website and look for it. Though if it was stolen rather than lost it's likely it's already been tampered with, and you'll be unable to find it. But good luck.

Should be finding it by IMEI so the only defeat is never turn it on and connect to service or data in any way.
