An alternative answer if you don't want to install a 3rd party repo from cloudera you could use the Apache Bigtop repo. Apache being the actual maintainer of Zookeeper.

As of writing it's this repo file on CentOS 7.

This will let you install Zookeeper by simply running yum install zookeeper.

Unfortunately that package does not include a systemd service file so I had to write my own, but that's not very hard.

[Unit]
Description=Zookeeper
After=syslog.target

[Service]
SyslogIdentifier=zookeeper
TimeoutStartSec=10min
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/lib/zookeeper/bin/zkServer.sh start
ExecStop=/usr/lib/zookeeper/bin/zkServer.sh stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
