The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

If you downloaded the latest version it won't work because according to Electrum supported are 10.13 or higher version of OSX

If you can upgrade your Mac OS to a higher version or to 10.13 the latest version of Electrum should be work.

If you can't able to upgrade the Mac OS with a higher version you can try to download the lower version of Electrum from here https://download.electrum.org/
Just don't download the version lower than 3.3.4.

OSX 10.11.6

I honestly wouldn't run any sensitive software on such an outdated OS.

Your OS didn't receive any updates within the last ~3 years. You shouldn't store private keys on such an outdated system.
Actually it is quite good that electrum doesn't run on such an old OS. If at least a few people will realize how old their OS is through this, it already has been a win.

I am also a OS X 10.11.6 (El Capitan) user. This version of macOS supports Electrum up to version 3.3.8.
Make sure you download from the official link, and also verify the GPG Signatures.

https://download.electrum.org/3.3.8/

Quote from: https://electrum.org/#download

Warning: Electrum versions older than 3.3.4 are susceptible to phishing. Do not download Electrum from another source than electrum.org, and learn to verify GPG signatures.
