Refer this pdf to assemble your circuit:

You can directly download from here:

Or you can look over and copy the library from here:

******************************************************************************************************
* Chip : MAX7219
* Author : Burak HANÇERLİ
* Mail : bhancerli@gmail.com
* Description : MAX7219 LED Display Driver Routines - v1.1
*
*
* The Maxim MAX7219 is a led display driver. It can control up to 64 individual leds or eight
* 7-segment-display.
*
* Max7912 uses 3-wire to communicate with microcontroller.
* - DATA : Used to transmit data.
* - CLOCK : Used to generate clock signal which is required for transmitting each bite of data.
* - LOAD : Used to load data to the Max7913's Dual-Port SRam.
*
*
*
* Advantages of Max7219 :
* - Adjustable intensity. (More or less bright leds)
* - Shutdown mode (much less power consumption)
* - Test mode (To see if digits are working or not)
* - Adjustable digit number. (1 to 8 seven-segment-display)
* - Changeable decode mode. (codeB-decode-mode or no-decode-mode)
* (Look over datasheet for more detailed information)
*
*
* DESCRIPTION OF USER FUNCTIONS
* -------------------------------
* init7219() : Required for initialize MAX7219. This function have has to be called before calling any function.
* write7219(digit, data) : Writes data to the specified digit number. If Decimal Point needed on any digit, just add
128 to the data.
For example : write7219(1,3) = writes "3" to first digit.
write7219(1,131) = writes "3." to first digit.
* shutdown7219(operatingMode) : Set operatingMode = 0 to Shutdown mode
* Set operatingMode = 1 to Normal mode
* decode7219(decodeMode) : Sets digit-decode mode. code-B or no-decode mode. Look up datasheet for detailed instructions.
* For example, if user sets decodeMode = 4, (4=0b00000100), then 3. digit will be
* decoded as code-B algorithm, but other pins don't have any decode mode.
* brightness7219(brightnessLevel) : Sets brightness level of digits.
* brightnessLevel = 0 ; minimum brightness level
* brightnessLevel = 15 ; maximum brigthness level
*
* scanLimit7219(totalDigitNumber) : Sets number of connected digits to the MAX7219. When init7912() function is called,
number of digit will be setted to 4 as default.
* test7219(testMode) : Sets 7-segment-display test-mode on or off.
testMode = 0 ; normal operation mode
testMode = 1 ; display test mode
