How to upgrade from OS X 10.7.5 to 10.8 or later

The apple store will not let me upgrade my 2011 mac mini from OS X 10.7.5 to 10.13. It states that I must have 10.8 or later. How can I upgrade to 10.8 so I can then upgrade to the latest versions of OS?

Mac mini, iOS 10.3.3, My OS is actually 10.7.5
