If you only have access to 2014 you'll need Alembic Crate. This archive has
all builds from 2010 till now (don't have Soft 2014 on it's own).

https://d.pr/TTWU.zip

Crate doesn't write as quickly as the native Alembic in 2015 but it's got a
pile of useful tricks for manipulating the caches you create. When the
addon is installed the easiest way to access it is via the File menu under
Import/Export. There's a few nifty ICE nodes too.
