Before opening the Arduino software, wire up the Arduino according to the circuits page using the 8MHz minimalist breadboard circuit but with a 10k pull-up resistor on the reset pin (physical pin 1).

[Rajendra] got tired of building the same basic circuits ... breadboard space when compared to the DIL package of the chip. But consider that the oscillator and its capacitors, reset button ...

in the form of the “Schematic-o-matic”, which aims to automate the breadboard documentation process. The trick is using a breadboard where each bus bar is connected to an IO pin on an Arduino ...
