Selenium Node on MAC

Question

Tried starting hub and node using the below commands.

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar -role hub -port 1234

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.39.0.jar -role node -hub http://x.x.x.x:1234/grid/register -browser "browserName=safari,setjavascriptEnabled=true,acceptSslCerts=true,maxInstances=5,Platform=MAC" -port 1235

While trying to start the browser(new RemoteWebDriver), getting the below error.

org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Error forwarding the new session cannot find : {acceptSslCerts=true, browserName=safari, javascriptEnabled=true}

what could be the reason for the error, also when I tried to start the node with platform=MAC(small letter "p" for platform) it throws an error ILlegalArgumentException:No enum constant org.openqa.selenium.Platform.MAC

Any separate drivers are required for safari browsers on MAC.? The firewalls are turned off on the MAC and also could notice a message on hub window INFO:Got a request to create a new session: {acceptSslCerts=true, browserName=safari, javascriptEnabled=true}, but nothing happens after that.

Safari version used : 7.0 MAC : 10.9

Thanks in advance.

safari driver

I installed selenium (v2.41.0) with brew and its Oracle java version "1.8.0_20" So it could by the version of selenium or Java
