How to get my dog to like my cat

Upvotes

I got this beautiful 2 year old Labrador Retriever and she's super shy. I brought her home last week. I have a 6 year old cat that's been with me for 5 years. Anyways my dog is not liking my cat she lunges at her and barks and growls whenever the cat gets near her. Please tell me how I can fix this behaviour.
