First of all, go to Settings>Google Settings
Step 2:
Click on the dotted menu on the top-right corner and then click on Help & feedback.

Step 5:
After the Google Play Services is completed signing up, repeat the process for the Google app as well.

After you've signed up for both, go to My apps and games. There, you'll find a new tab that goes by the name Beta. Click on it and update both the Google Play Services and Google Now app.

After you're done updating both the apps, close the Playstore. Now long-press the Home Button to enable the Google Assistant. When you do it for the first time, you'll need to configure it to your own preferences. Make sure you're using your native language in the Language and Input menu in Settings of your device.
