The same way you installed 2.6.18: Download it from SourceForge or Github (There’s a handy link to the former on https://www.gnucash.org <https://www.gnucash.org/>), open the dmg and drag Gnucash to the Applications folder or wherever else you want to park it.

However, the warning you got doesn’t say that it won’t run on Mojave, it says that it won’t run on the *next* version of MacOS. What it doesn’t say is that that’s because it’s a 32-bit app and Apple is removing support for 32-bit binaries in MacOS 10.15. GnuCash 3.0 and later are built as 64-bit on MacOS.

Another note: There are a couple of Gtk bugs in GnuCash 3.3, see https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796879 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796879> and https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796889 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796889>. You may prefer to try the dmg linked on those bug reports as it’s rebuilt with unreleased Gtk code that fixes the bugs.
