Doesn't look like you have enabled the Select Extension. You will need to install the select library (.js and .css) and enable the select extension. See the Select examples](https://datatables.net/extensions/select/examples).

Looks like you are loading the select library. At a minimum you need select: true in the Datatable initialization to enable row selection. Please see the Select extension docs for details of how to use the select extension.
