Assuming that you intend to use the native Mail App, you simply add your Gmail account in the same way as any other account via settings:
Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account
Be aware that Google Mail, in common with many email providers, now generally require you to configure an App-specific password to access your Gmail using iMap. The App-specific password will intentionally differ from your Google account Password.
If you need to generate an App Specific Password, you’ll need to log-in to your Mail Providers account management webpage - using a web browser - and generate the Password from the appropriate account security page. For Gmail, you’ll find information here:
