How to setup dbt UI for data lineage?

I'm new to the dbt and I'm planning to use dbt cli. One question is how to setup the dbt ui and have such a data lineage graph? I didn't find how to do it here with cli https://docs.getdbt.com/tutorial/create-a-project-dbt-cli.

dbt docs might be what you're looking for?

dbt docs generate

Then, serve them:

dbt docs serve

You'll find that the docs are served locally. Once you open the link in a browser you can see the lineage at the bottom right like so:
