I would also add some electrical tape to protect the usb connector from grounding with the raspberry pi

STEP 2
I’m using the latest Raspberry Pi Image called Pixel.

Raspbian

and load the the image to the sd card.

When you are done, located the file config.txt from the Boot drive of the sdcard and insert this at the end

dtoverlay=dwc2
then save the file, and locate the file called cmdline.txt and insert this text right after rootwait

modules-load=dwc2,g_ether
when done, save the file and you can now insert the sdcard into the raspberry pi zero

to access your raspberry pi from your computer, use ssh client and point it to

raspberrypi.local

now you should be all done!
