Available via direct hot links, this MindTheGapps package is for devices running Android 8.1.0 Oreo. It also supports custom ROM built for Project Treble like the LineageOS 15.1. This Gapps package contains all basic Google Apps including Play Store, Contacts, Services Framework, Account Manager, and so on. It has all necessary stuff to have Play Store and Google Services running on your phone.
It is a really good alternative for OpenGapps which has been so popular earlier. What’s the difference? Well, at least Mind The Gapps package is the one recommended by LineageOS developers and proven to work properly with that custom ROM; Especially on its version 15.1 which is based on Android 8.1 Oreo.

Why this one vs Open Gapps?
The reason for that is because there can be issues with using a package that hasn’t been tested by the developer.
