Install the appropriate device drivers for the devices you would like to use. Details of how to do this can be found at the Android Developer Website here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
The relevant device must be set to debug mode, once the necessary drivers are installed. To enable debug mode, please see your manufactures recommend instructions for doing so. An example for a Galaxy S3 running Android 4.1.1 is-
1) Go to Settings> About> Software Information> More
2. Now Scroll onto Build Number and tap it 7 times repeatedly. After tapping the build number 5 times you’ll see a message “Press it two more times to be a developer!” and after tapping 7 times you’ll see message “You are now a developer” or “Developer mode has been enabled”
3) Navigate to Settings> Developer options
4) Check option for Android Debugging
