Read this Django_Docs
You must also have a STATIC_ROOT option set before you can use the static files, heres some help
add this to your code:

STATIC_URL = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static').replace('\\','')+'/'

# Here you can add all the directories from where you want to use your js, css etc
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
  # This can be same as the static url
  os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, "static"),

  # also any other dir you wanna use
  "/any/other/static/path/you/wanna/use",
]

# This is the static root dir from where django uses the files from.
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, "static_root")

you will also need to specify it in the urls.py file, just add the following code to the urls.py file:

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

after you add this, run the command:

python manage.py collectstatic

This will copy all the statics you need to the static root dir.
