1. First step is downloading a virtual machine with Internet Explorer
   https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/
   

   Select your virtual machine in the drop down
   

   NOTE: I am going to choose IE on Win81

   Then select the platform
   

   NOTE: VirtualBox and Vagrant are free but I have found VirtualBox is easier to get up and running
   

   If you would like to download virtual box here is a direct link
   https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.0.8/VirtualBox-6.0.8-130520-OSX.dmg
   

   If you would like to download vagrant here is a link
   https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.2.4/vagrant_2.2.4_x86_64.dmg
   

   With vagrant it is easier to manage with vagrant manager

2. Now that the IE VM is downloaded, install it and make sure you are able to connect to the internet
   

3. Next create an account on Ngrok https://dashboard.ngrok.com/
   

   NOTE: This is the secret to connecting the VM to your local development (ie: localhost:3000)
   

4. Download and install Ngrok
   

   NOTE: It's easiest to work with if you move the download into your home directory
   

5. Ngrok and IE VM should be installed so fire up the local development on the Mac
   My local development is running on http://localhost:8100 so to run ngrok I wil use the following

   ~/ngrok http 8100 -host-header="localhost:8100"
   

   NOTE: Ngrok will provide the forwarding url example: http://28214884.ngrok.io
   

6. In the IE VM past the forwarding url into IE address bar and you should now see localhost:8100 within IE on the VM
