I am using WebDriver and I have downloaded the InternetExplorerDriver and was wondering what I do with it after it is downloaded?

This says to put the driver in my path. Not really certain what exactly they are talking about there.

Has anyone used this and if so could you provide detailed steps on how to set it up so it will work?

I am getting the following error:

The path to the driver executable must be set by the webdriver.ie.driver system property

I downloaded the executables for IE and the Chrome driver. Where do I set it at?

    using System.Text;
    ...
    ..
    static void Main(String[] args){ 
    var driver =  new InternetExplorerDriver(@"C:\Users\PathToTheFolderContainingIEDriver.exe"); 
    driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com/");
    Console.Read();
    }

You need not include the .exe file. The path to the folder containing the .exe worked for me

WebDriverManager allows to automate the management of the binary drivers (e.g. chromedriver, geckodriver, etc.) required by Selenium WebDriver.

Link: https://github.com/bonigarcia/webdrivermanager

you can use something link this: WebDriverManager.iedriver().setup();

add the following dependency for Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.bonigarcia</groupId>
    <artifactId>webdrivermanager</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
