You have to be signed into your iCloud account in the System/Apple ID preference pane. Then click on iCloud in the left hand sidebar and then check Photos in the right hand pane:

Next open your Photos library and make sure it's designated the System Photo Library;

Lastly go to the iCloud preference pane in Photos and check the iCloud Photos Library option.
