On a Serverpilot Ubuntu apache/nginx install I am trying to install a WP-CLI package called MU-Migration (https://10up.com/blog/2016/streamline-multisite-migration/#comment-813957) from a ssh terminal window but despite having memory_limit = 512M in my apps user.ini I get Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16777224 bytes).

Hello,
Seems like the php-cli is not picking up the correct php.ini and is still having 256M as its memory limit. What you could do is run:
php -i | grep php.ini
And you would get the correct php.ini file that you should edit.

Heya,
After modifying user.ini or php.ini, you may need to restart PHP-FPM or the web server for the changes to take effect:
sudo service phpX.Y-fpm restart
# For Apache:
sudo service apache2 restart
# For Nginx:
sudo service nginx restart
Note: Replace X.Y with your PHP version.
Regards
