If you have a desktop use the NetworkManager to set your static IP.
Click on the Up/Down Arrows on the -> Advanced Options -> Edit
Connections, select the wired connection you want to change and then
click the IPv4 tab and set a static IP address.

If you don't have a desktop use nmtui from the command line.  It has a
character interface similar to raspi-config.  If you need further
instructions on nmtui, post again.
