Hello, first I wanted to say: big thanks for doing such a usefull open source tool :)

Second: i got

Error: unknown or unsupported macOS version: :mountain_lion

in xQuartz .

Can it be related to that i still work on Mojave?

Last lines of stacktrace from bash are:

0061:err:combase:RoGetActivationFactory Failed to find library for L"Windows.Foundation.Diagnostics.AsyncCausalityTracer"

Hi, according to https://discourse.brew.sh/t/unknown-or-unsupported-macos-version-mountain-lion/8087 it seems that homebrew dropped support for old macOS versions some time ago...
You'll need to find a way to install XQuartz and others without homebrew..
For XQuartz, you may give a try to https://www.xquartz.org/; for the other dependencies (socat, gnu-getopt, wget), you may give a try to MacPorts https://www.macports.org/ https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16808543/install-socat-on-mac
Keep me in touch, and do not hesitate to post full output of the commands.

In theory (I have no macOS), you can install MacPorts for Mojave using this link:
https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.6.3-10.14-Mojave.pkg
and then the other dependencies than XQuartz can (probably) be installed using

sudo port install socat wget getopt

EDIT: better install getopt rather than libgnugetopt

I will try it, if there will be more troubles, I will just upgrade OsX version :)

I updated osx to catalina and it works. There are some performance issues, but I assume that is normal in this approach. Again, thanks man!

I got that error while having OS Mojave on a Mac. So, I think this problem is still alive.

I tried the solution above and the initial error didn't go away when I tried to brew update. The unsupported Mountain Lion error appeared when I tried brew doctor.

I will restart the computer to see if things change.

Brew is no longer supported on Mojave, you should no longer use the brew command. If you cannot upgrade to a newer version, you'll need to try installing XQuartz and others manually, using the commands I posted in the previous comments.
Or install wine manually using https://github.com/pauleve/docker-mtgo/wiki/macOS:-installing-MTGO-using-Wine

Are you telling me that Brew no longer supports Mojave? Mojave is the penultimate Mac OS. The Big Sur is the latest one.
I can understand not supporting Mountain Lion, an 8-years old OS.
I am not complaining (since I am not a contributor to Homebrew). I am just surprised.

https://docs.brew.sh/Installation
This is what is written in the installation:
macOS Requirements
A 64-bit Intel CPU 1
macOS Mojave (10.14) (or higher) 2

From the link I posted in my first comment, it may work on Mojave by doing

brew uninstall mongodb

That's insane, does anybody know where I can read about it?

I have the same error under catalina while running any brew command even brew doctor:

Error: unknown or unsupported macOS version: :lion

I had the same error in Catalina worked with previous answer:

brew uninstall mongodb

I found it was installed (idk why) by doing

brew list
