## Welcome to join PaddleHub technical group
If you have any questions during the use of the model, you can join the official WeChat group to get more efficient questions and answers, and fully communicate with developers from all walks of life. We look forward to your joining.
please add WeChat above and send "Hub" to the robot, the robot will invite you to join the group automatically.
## QuickStart
### The installation of required components.
```python
# install paddlepaddle with gpu
# !pip install --upgrade paddlepaddle-gpu
# or install paddlepaddle with cpu
!pip install --upgrade paddlepaddle
# install paddlehub
!pip install --upgrade paddlehub
```
### The simplest cases of Chinese word segmentation.
```python
import paddlehub as hub
lac = hub.Module(name="lac")
test_text = ["今天是个好天气。"]
results = lac.cut(text=test_text, use_gpu=False, batch_size=1, return_tag=True)
print(results)
#{'word': ['今天', '是', '个', '好天气', '。'], 'tag': ['TIME', 'v', 'q', 'n', 'w']}
```
### The simplest command of deploying lac service.
```python
!hub serving start -m lac
```
