selenium 3.0 webdriver for safari 10 on yosemite

Question

I have a mac yosemite with Safari 10 that I'm trying to upgrade to running selenium webdriver 3.0. and I cannot get the remote webdriver to start it. It is throwing the following errors: 1. Exception: SafariDriver requires Safari 10 running on OSX El Capitan or greater when in java I include:

capability.setCapability(SafariOptions.CAPABILITY, new SafariOptions());
capability = DesiredCapabilities.safari();
capability.setPlatform(platform);

my node is setup using:

{
    "browserName": "safari",
    "version":10,
    "maxInstances": 5,
    "platform": "YOSEMITE",
    "seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver"
}],
"proxy": "org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy",
"maxSession": 5,
"port": 5000,
"register": true,
"registerCycle": 5000,
"nodeStatusCheckTimeout": 5000,
"nodePolling": 5000,
"unregisterIfStillDownAfter": 60000,
"downPollingLimit": 2,
"debug": false

and: started with:

java -Xmx512m -jar \
 -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=chromedriver \
 -Dwebdriver.gecko.driver=geckodriver \
 $JFILE \
-role node \
-hub http://$hub/grid/register \
-nodeConfig $CONFIGFILE

I have the safari extension included in my Safari 10 browser. Do I need to downgrade it? It worked fine under Selenium 2.53.

On Yosemite safari 10 not included safaridriver, you should downgrade your selenium version 2.48.0 look here. Or update your OS to macOS Sierra. Read about it here
