How do you properly initialize Web Driver when upgrading Selenium 2.53 to 3.40

Since the Firefox has been updated to version 52, the version of selenium that we were using is incompatible. I am currently trying to upgrade it to 3.4.0. I've updated the dependency in the pom file, and I have set the property of the driver to the path of the geckodriver.exe. I have also explicitly set the Marionette Driver Capabilities.

System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "/PathTo/geckodriver.exe");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();
capabilities.setCapability("marionette", true);
WebDriver driver = new MarionetteDriver(capabilities);

When I try to run any of my tests I receive this error
