Help for S3 phone with root access

[ernesty]

I have an S3 that has root with a CyanogenMod running 13.0-20160110 nightly. When I updated the phone it now runs Android 6.0.1 but I lost access to Google apps, play store etc. Does anyone know someone who can fix this so I can have aceess to google. The shops at sim square don't fix phones with root. Thanks

just download Gapps package and flash it via recovery.

I assume you do know and have a custom recovery as well right?

Thanks for the response. I was given this phone when it was already rooted so all I know is the updates show on the notification area and i just click on them and the phone updates. unfortunately when it updated to Android 6.01 i lost google and don't know how to get it back!
