I am trying to install PyGame on PyCharm.
History: clicked on File -> New projects setup -> settings for new project -> selected python -> click on "+" -> searched "pygame" on search bar -> install package -> ERROR
but I am getting this error:

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed
Encountered error while generating package metadata.
See above for output.
note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.
[notice] A new release of pip available: 22.3.1 -> 23.0
[notice] To update, run: python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip`
I don't know how to fit it :(
I tried to install other versions, but there is no difference. Still getting error.
I also tried do it via terminal, but when I use "pip install pygame" another error jumps telling me that "pip is not recognized". I don't know if this is same or other error. I tried to find info on the internet but there is nothing even similar to this error. I have also tried to update pip via manual and it worked, but I am still getting the same error.
