+# Apache ZooKeeper Usage Notes
+
+## Starting the Server
+
+To start the ZooKeeper server, specify the path to your configuration directory using the `ZOOCFGDIR` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export ZOOCFGDIR=/path/to/your/config
+zkServer start
+```
+
+## Stopping the Server
+
+```bash
+zkServer stop
+```
+
+That's it! Happy ZooKeeping!
