At this time, Mac support for GNUbg is somewhat inadequate.
There are older versions built for earlier versions of macOS at:
http://files.gnubg.org/media/macos/
that may or may not work on current Macs.
Another possibility is to install it from MacPorts:
https://www.macports.org/
I don't use a Mac but my understanding is that if you already use
MacPorts for other open-source software, installing GNUbg from there
would be straighforward. On the other hand, setting up MacPorts itself
if you start from zero may be a bit more challenging, although it is a
well proven system with good documentation and support.
