How to build a tank equipped with a 1 GJ railgun

Not a tank that could survive being shot with a 1 GJ railgun (pretty sure nothing can survive that), but a tank that can withstand the recoil of a 1 GJ railgun that's been mounted to it.
Obviously, a way to anchor it to the ground is in order to keep it from flying away is required, but what about the frame itself actually withstanding the force? Could the vehicle survive if the barrel and all of the tank's moving parts were made from sheets of a 2d supermaterial like graphene?
