How To Install Pygame 1.9.3 for python 3.6

Question

Here's my problem: I need to install pygame 1.9.3 for python 3.6 for a homework assignment but I have tried almost every possible thing to install it but to no avail I still can't install it. When I try to pip install I get this error:

pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, 
script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name,
or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ pip install wheel
+ ~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (pip:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Although, the link that I posted says that `pip` should be included with Python 3 v3.4 and greater. You have installed Python, right? — 0x5453, Jan 11 '18 at 18:13
Yes, I have installed Python and I have been using it since about may of this year. — Isaac Volpe, Jan 11 '18 at 18:14
