There is no version of WPCS which is compatible with PHPCS 3.0.0 as that version contained quite some bugs still.

You either need 2.9.0/2.9.1 or version 3.0.2 or higher. For the best results, always use an up-to-date version of PHPCS, which would currently be version 3.1.1.

but still got error when I run phpcs -e --standard=WordPress

What error do you get when you run phpcs -e --standard=WordPress ?

And can you try to run phpcs -i to see if the WPCS standards are registered correctly in the install you are using ?

You’ll probably will need to run both commands as vendor/bin/phpcs.
