Install the Homebrew Package Manager from here: https://brew.sh
Then in Terminal run:
brew install --cask melonds

You seem to be using an old version of macOS that Homebrew doesn't support (nor Qt).
You can either:
* Upgrade your macOS version
* Or if you really want to use melonDS on an old macOS you could perhaps try MacPorts.
