Trouble making CLI (Command Line Interface) work with sublime on MAC OS X

Question

I've downloaded the CLI from http://force-cli.heroku.com/ and have it on my ~/Downloads. After that I change it's permission to 777 and added it to my $PATH.

I installed the "lightning" package on my sublime but when I start sublime I get the following:

error: Sublime Lightning Plugin requires the Force.com CLI to functionn

Please visit force-cli.herokuapp.com to installthe Force.com CLI.

If you have already installed it, please make sure that you have stored it or created a symlink to it in Sublime's default path.

Trouble begins when I try to login to salesforce using the sublime menu. I keep get as response the following:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/MacOS/sublime_plugin.py", line 535, in run_
return self.run()
File "lightningsave in /Users/vinicius/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Lightning.sublime-package", line 323, in run
File "lightningsave in /Users/vinicius/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/Lightning.sublime-package", line 161, in get_forcecli_version
File "./subprocess.py", line 824, in __init__
File "./subprocess.py", line 1448, in _execute_child
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'force'

If I do

echo $PATH

I get /Users/vinicius/Downloads/force:/Users/vinicius/Downloads/:/Users/vinicius/.composer/vendor/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbindfa

If I type force on my command line anywhere I get a list of force commands as expected by having it on my path.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue with sublime?

I've got the same problem. I'am also using os x with ST3.
The problem is caused by the fact, that ST3 is not using system PATH and it can't resolve force-cli executable.
To solve that I installed plugin through Package Control called Fix Mac Path. There is a link to repo and description https://github.com/int3h/SublimeFixMacPath Hope it would help you.
