Your path seems to be missing the root anaconda directory. when i echo $Path (where username is replacing my actual username) i have the following:

/Users/username/anaconda/bin:/Users/username/anaconda/bin:/Users/username/anaconda/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

in my bash_profile (or zshrc file etc...) I added:

export PATH="/Users/username/anaconda/bin:$PATH"

I use iterm2 with zsh, although this probably applies to more general cases.

On OSX Sierra with Anaconda3 4.4.0 the path is now:

export PATH="/anaconda/bin:$PATH"
