Hey guys, I did this and when I try to run it in st3 it gives me this error:

bash: swift: command not found
[Finished in 0.0s with exit code 127]
[shell_cmd: swift "/home/gabriel/Documents/A.swift"]
[dir: /home/gabriel/Documents]
[path: /home/gabriel/.cargo/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin]

I checked in terminal (which I have set up w/ zsh) and typed in swift, and it worked perfectly. I then entered a bash shell and again typed in swift and, again, it worked perfectly.
I am not sure why it is giving me these errors. can someone please help me? Thanks!

Same problem for me. The command swift is in the path but Sublime text incorrectly complained command was not found. Swift was not using the path reported by Swift. Sublime text may report the correct path but it is blindly using any path.
