According to distrowatch.com, Zorin OS 9 is based on Ubuntu. Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) to be precise (at least, according to Linuxed).

ROS Indigo can be installed on Ubuntu Trusty, but you'll have to help the ROS OS detector, since it doesn't know about Zorin OS. You could try to see whether setting ROS_OS_OVERRIDE is enough. Add the following to your .bashrc file (which is in your home directory):

export ROS_OS_OVERRIDE=ubuntu:14.04

Then start a new terminal, and see if things start working.

PS: in the future, please add more information to your questions. We don't know which version of ROS you're trying to install, what kind of machine you have (32 or 64 bit), or even what "did not work". Simply stating that something didn't work is not sufficient. We don't have crystal balls ..
