With a Pi Zero W and assuming that you have a WiFi access point on
your LAN, just google and pick one of the many sets of instructions.
That'll get you at least command line access.

How you proceed from there depends on what you want to use the Zero
for. I expect you'll also be able to find how to run a WIMP
enviroment over the WiFi link but I've never played with that. All my
Raspberries are headless and command line only (ish one runs Kodi).
