Hi Jouni
Just install Zappa as UCI. Aferwards, there is nothing special
to do except to set the zappa.ini in accordance with your
wishes and PC configuration. Below the contents of my zappa.ini file.
Kind regards

# bookline e4
# bookline e4 e5 Nf3
# bookline e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5

#avoidline line zappa will never play. (only the last move)
# example: to make Zappa never play the French defense

# Zappa may play an avoidline out of search. For example, if
# Zappa has no book, it may play the line, or if the avoidline
# reaches farther than the book.
#avoidline e4 e6 #avoid French
#avoidline e4 c6 #avoid Caro-Kann
