Most of the Custom ROMs, don’t have Google Apps to reduce ROM size & to allow the user to Install what they require. Google Apps are the proprietary Google-branded applications that come pre-installed with most Android devices, such as the Play Store, Gmail, Maps, etc. Due to licensing restrictions, these apps cannot come pre-installed with CyanogenMod and must be installed separately. But you can download Gapps for all Android versions & Custom ROMs as per your requirement.
There’re different Gapps package available on this page. Each Package is of different size. More Google Apps are packed in bigger packages. If your device’s Internal memory is less, go with the smallest package (Pico/Micro). If you want to install all the available Google Apps on PlayStore, download bigger packages. If you just want PlayStore and basic apps, download smaller packages. For more info regarding packages, click here.
