LyX is just a front end GUI editor for LaTeX/TeX. You could try
installing some other TeX packaging system - on CentOS7, that would be
texlive - and that will give you many of the other files and classes
you may need.

Other non-packaged files can be downloaded from CTAN.

I think what you need to get your head around is that these aren't "LyX
files", they are "TeX/LaTeX files" that LyX uses.
