Importing data from Quicken 2009 to 2014 or 2015?

I've read that importing data from Quicken 2009 to Quicken 2014 to 2015 is a two step process: convert to 2012 first and then to 2014 or 2015.

But I haven't been able to find out if I need to install 2012 on my computer to do the first conversion or if there is a conversion program or script that will do it.

When I converted from Quicken 3 to Quicken 2009, I just edited the qif files in notepad and was good to go. Is there anything that simple to do in this case?

Thanks for any help.
