 * I am trying to install a WP CLI package. OK I’m a CLI newbie but I installed 
   WP CLI and it checks out ok but the first package I am trying won’t install. 
   From
    “wp package install 10up/mu-migration” I get “Installing package 10up/mu-
   migration (dev-master) Updating /srv/users/serverpilot/.wp-cli/packages/composer.
   json to require the package… Using Composer to install the package… — Loading
   composer repositories with package information Updating dependencies PHP Fatal
   error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16777224
   bytes) in phar:///usr/local/bin/wp/vendor/composer/composer/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/
   RuleSet.php on line 83”
 *  I have added memory_limit = 512M to my php.ini file but still a problem.
 * free -m gives me this fwiw
 *  total used free shared buff/cache available
