Error installing Pygame on Windows through pip

Question

I am attempting to install Pygame on my computer and keep getting this error.

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\admin1\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-8fv2luo4\Pygame\

I have already checked if I have wheels, setuptools and pip and have upgraded all of them. I am running Python 3.7.0.

Here is a screenshot of everything.

PyGame isn't compatible with Python 3.7.0 (with pip apparently). Downgrade to Python 3.6.x

Pygame is actually compatible with Python 3.7. You will just need to uninstall the old version for 3.6 and download the new wheel file for 3.7.
