install.packages("coxphf")

Looks like the package isn't available on CRAN at that address. After digging around, I found the package here: https://cran.rstudio.com/bin/windows/contrib/3.4/coxphf_1.13.zip

Download it and follow instructions here:

It's not expected behavior though, I'm not sure what's causing it, but this workaround will do fine for now
