How do I get Octave bot to work?

Sometimes the Octave Bot might have issues, such as it may not respond and it may be offline. This can be due to a complete discord server outage, if you face the issue check on the discord status page. 

Also, make sure that you have provided sufficient permissions to the octave bot, it can be done in the setting tab. 

If the octave bot does not respond after applying the above steps, then make sure you did not change the octave bot default prefix.
