I don't use OS X, but I can tell you that you should look for the
directory where MacTeX binaries reside and add it to the PATH
environment variable.  My understanding is that the directory should
be

    /usr/texbin

until MacTeX 2014, and

    /Library/TeX/texbin

for MacTeX 2015 and later versions.  Once you've determined your
MacTeX versions, add to your ~/.bash_profile file one of the following
line

    export PATH="/usr/texbin:$PATH"

or

    export PATH="/Library/TeX/texbin:$PATH"

Please, don't reply just to me but use "Reply all" button, so that all
your emails will go to the bug tracker.

Bye,
