  ln -sfv /usr/local/opt/zookeeper/*.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents
Then to load zookeeper now:
  launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.zookeeper.plist
Or, if you don't want/need launchctl, you can just run:
  zkServer start

安装后，在/usr/local/etc/zookeeper/目录下，已经有了缺省的配置文件。

ls /usr/local/etc/zookeeper
defaults        log4j.properties    zoo.cfg         zoo_sample.cfg

缺省配置[/usr/local/etc/zookeeper/zoo.cfg] 内容如下

  # The number of milliseconds of each tick
       tickTime=2000
   # The number of ticks that the initial 
   # synchronization phase can take
    initLimit=10
   # The number of ticks that can pass between 
   # sending a request and getting an acknowledgement
     syncLimit=5
    # the directory where the snapshot is stored.
    # do not use /tmp for storage, /tmp here is just 
    # example sakes.
     dataDir=/usr/local/var/run/zookeeper/data
    # the port at which the clients will connect
     clientPort=2181
    # the maximum number of client connections.
    # increase this if you need to handle more clients
    #maxClientCnxns=60
    #
    # Be sure to read the maintenance section of the 
    # administrator guide before turning on autopurge.
