Add a file, 1-wlan0.yaml, to _/etc/netplan/_ with the following contents,

    $ sudo cat << EOF >> /etc/netplan/1-wlan0.yaml
    network:
        version: 2
        wifis:
            wlan0:
                optional: true
                access-points:
                    NAME_OF_YOUR_ESSID:
                        password: "YOUR_SECRET_WPA_PSK_HERE"
                dhcp4: true
                dhcp6: true
    EOF

Then apply the plan,

    $ sudo netplan apply
