Well, z4root was certainly well-known and safe in it's day (2010/2011), so if you've got a much older device (with an older version of Android), then the official thread for that rooting tool is here:

The rooting method usually depends on the device itself, the carrier it was released on/for, and the version of Android that you are running.

Oh, LOL, yeah, that's a pretty new/current device...z4root (and any other root exploits) are not likely to help you.

However, since this is a Nexus device, it's actually VERY easy to root.

You're probably looking for something like Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit.

Be aware that unlocking your bootloader will wipe your device, so save-off anything you need before attempting to do that with this tool.

Oh, don't forget that rooting your device will also keep you from being able to install future over-the-air (OTA) updates and things like Android Pay will not work.

Cheers and best of luck!
