    The easiest way by far is to use an iPhone or iPad to set up the Quest 1.

    If you are using an Android device, you need an older version of the Meta app:

    Meta support doesnt't recognize my Oculus Quest (1st gen) serial number so I cannot get help. | Meta Community Forums - 1274215

    Unfortunately, the link to the older version of the Android app provided in that post no longer works, so you'll have to search for one yourself.

    But even if you can find a suitable older version of the Meta app, it might be incompatible with your phone. You can follow the guide in this post to install incompatible APKs, but it is a convoluted process:

    Help with Oculus Quest 1 set up (Cant get passed safety) : r/OculusQuest

    If the (older) app tells you to update, you must skip that. Unfortunately, on some phones the skip button isn't visible and can't be used. If that's the case, use a tablet for the set up.
