Complete beginner to Linux and CentOS. I need it to run Flame on Autodesk for a new job. Any help with this is really appreciated as I am a bit stuck.

You do have CentOS > 7.6 so you need to ask the question of the people that supply that product. They make some check that fails but apparently they are checking the wrong thing.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

yum install redhat-lsb-core may or may not help.

I guess they mean a newer version of CentOS 7, e.g. 7.9 (which is the newest).
If INSTALL_DKU is a script, then could look at it and maybe see if you can change it.

The error about lsb_release being missing may explain it, good catch by avij.
