I have purchased a subcription to Lightroom/Photoshop. I believe it is similar to Lightroom Classic, but the layout does not look like anything that in the tutorials. I am referring to the first video titled "Get to know the Layout of Lightroom Classic". The speaker points to a series of modules
Library - Develop - Map - Book - Slideshow - Print - Web
The screen is divided into 3 sections. I am unable to make the version on my Macbook to look like this.
On my screen there are four icons on the left

Can anyone explain how to get the layout in the tutorial?

It's probable that you installed Lightroom and not Lightroom Classic. There IS a big difference. Blame the naming confusion on Adobe. Lightroom is a relatively new program that is designed to store all your images in the cloud. It is installed from the same creative cloud application manager that installs Lightroom Classic. The user interface is much different from Lightroom Classic, and the features are much different from Lightroom Classic. The tutorials you are watching are apparently designed for Lightroom Classic.
Depending on which program you subscribed to, both versions could be available to you to use. You are entitled to use them both. But it is generally recommended not to use both of them on the same computer although it is possible to do so.

There is No plan that included Lightroom, the Cloud Centric (Cloud Based) version and Photoshop.
The Photography plan included Lr CLASSIC and Photoshop.
You have installed the Wrong Lr. you need to remove that version and install LrC (Classic).

If you purchased the Lightroom plan, you only have the Lightroom app which is not the same as Lightroom Classic. You don't get Lightroom Classic and Photoshop with the Lightroom subscription. By your description it is clear you installed Lightroom.
If you purchased the Photography Plan with 20GB of storage, you have Lightroom, Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. Check the Creative Cloud desktop app to see what is available to you. If you purchased the correct plan, you can instal Lightroom Classic and Photoshop from the Creative Cloud app. Here's a link to instal the Creative Cloud desktop app if you need it.

If you purchased the wrong subscription you need to contact Adobe to get it changed.

Apparently I have all three programs installed. And Lightroom Classic is working for me with the layout described in all the YouTube videos. So thanks everyone for the help. I will move on to the next part of the learning curve.
