beginner needs PyGame advice
#1
I am a beginner and want to learn Python and I want to get started the correct way. I am using Windows 10 and have installed python 3.8.

1) It was suggested on the Internet to install and use PyCharm as a good IDE and I did so. Was this a good idea?
Maybe I should use a different IDE.

2) Ultimately, I want to install and use a python, external module called PyGame. I have seen directions that say to use pip for this.
" python3 pip install pyGame.py ---user " or something like this. When I try this command, I get errors of course because I do not know where on the Internet I should go and get PyGame and how to get it, where do I put the module in my computer, and even how to involk pip. I think I am lost as to where on my computer things should be stored and how to access them. If this sounds like I am confused I am.
