You need to enable the 'developer mode' or 'debug mode' on your
phone. This is the (somewhat ridiculous) official way to enable it [0]:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. (Only on Android 8.0 or higher) Select System.
3. Scroll to the bottom and select About phone.
4. Scroll to the bottom and tap Build number 7 times.
5  Return to the previous screen to find Developer options near the bottom.

You'll probably also want to install the android-udev-rules (we have a
package for it) to enable using adb as your normal user (instead of
root) [1].

HTH!
