How do you install libreoffice. yum install libreoffice did not do it, doing a search on "centos 8 install libreoffice" did not provide anything. Thanks

There is no single package libreoffice in CentOS 8. Instead there are several packages for each libreoffice component like libreoffice-calc, libreoffice-draw and so on.
You may like to install all of them by executing
yum group install "Office Suite and Productivity"

Alternatively you may like to learn how to use your package manager to get answers to your questions.
...snip # yum search libreoffice ... snap...

The RHEL 8 Release Notes mention several package managers. Yum3, the older python-based version we have known, yum4, also python but based on the dnf backend, and dnf.
I assume there is a /usr/bin/yum. Is it yum3 or yum4?
Is yum4 really dnf in disguise? Or is it something intermediate between yum3 and dnf?

/usr/bin/yum is a symlink to dnf-3.

There's some funniness with the groups though:
# yum group list Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:45 ago on Sun 29 Sep 2019 21:52:39 BST. Available Environment Groups: Server with GUI Server Minimal Install KDE Plasma Workspaces Virtualization Host Custom Operating System Installed Environment Groups: Workstation Available Groups: Container Management .NET Core Development RPM Development Tools Smart Card Support Development Tools Graphical Administration Tools Headless Management Legacy UNIX Compatibility Network Servers Scientific Support Security Tools System Tools Fedora Packager
Can't see qny sort of office there, however when I do # yum group info "office*" all the expected LibreOffice stuff is there.

yum group list --hidden
At least on CentOS 7, hidden is not an option but a keyword:
yum group list hidden

You never stop learning. For the last 10 years (my old cluster came with 5.3) I've tended to think that groups were a "nice idea" that no-one ever bothered to implement properly. I never realised that all the interesting groups were hidden! Thank goodness for "yum search" and for C5 "yum list | grep".

Well, libreoffice packages ARE in AppStream, and a 'yum list|grep ^libreoffice shows a bunch, but there's no blanket 'libreoffice' package, you'll need to install each component. This can be done from the command line or using the 'Software' GUI. I tried the 'yum module list' route, and there isn't a module for libreoffice, so installing each one seems to be the way at least for 8.0.
