I am not sure, but maybe you can try:

npm install @openzeppelin/contracts@4.0.0-rc.0
or
npm install @openzeppelin/contracts@next

You can find all release version at here: Releases · OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts · GitHub

Hi @dhaileytaha,

OpenZeppelin Contracts 4 which supports Solidity 0.8 is in Release Candidate and will be released according to the timeline: Contracts 4.0 Timeline

As @skyge said, we can install using npm install @openzeppelin/contracts@next

If you use npm install @openzeppelin/contracts you will get the current version which is currently OpenZeppelin Contracts 3.4 which supports Solidity 0.6/0.7.
