[trinity-users] setting static ip in network

Years go by between the times I install a new Ubuntu/Trinty. It is now time again -- this time to build a machine to replace my wife's antique Win XP. I just did the install with Trinity's CD image Ubuntu 18.02/Trinity 14.07. I want to set a static IP for the box -- and get rid of the DHCP crap. All the searching either shows Make changes to the /etc/netplan yaml file -- there isn't any - just an empty directory! -or- "Click on top right network icon and select settings corresponding to the network interface you wish to assign with the static IP address." --- ya, well, this is Trinity. ..and, of course NONE of this resembles anything I remember from hacking my Ubuntu 16.04 with Trinity from a WAY LONG time ago. Could someone please point me where to start? Thank you!
