Error when trying to install pygame on Python 3

Question

I tried installing pygame using

pip install pygame

I tried installing it using Python 3.8 but it outputs the error below.
I also tried installing using Python 3.7 but still no luck.

The error:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

You can try to install from the Wheel file.

After verifying that you're using python 3.7

python --version # Python 3.7.X
pip install pygame-1.9.6-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
