How about using conda? 

conda search htseq

followed by 

conda create -n htseq_new htseq (if you want the latest)

activate the new environment to use latest htseq.

conda activate htseq_new

I am working on the cluster and there is no conda environment installed... Is there a way without using conda?

You can install conda in user space, your own directories. No root access is needed so it is easy to do. Check the tutorial from @finswimmer I linked above.

If you don't want to do that then you will need to clone/download htseq version you want/need. Install it in your own directory. Modify $PATH to ensure that it is the only (or first thing) in your $PATH to use it.

You could also try with pip if pip is installed.

sudo pip install htseq --upgrade

Normal user unlikely to have sudo access on cluster.

We do have but it replies with this quote: "With great power comes great responsibility." :D This cooled down my ardour a bit and I wrote to the user support to update the programme:)

If they do that it would be the best solution :-)
