Refrigerant... Freon is a trademark of DuPont, and it's only Freon if made and marketed by them under that name.

That being said, find your AC compressor. I'm assuming you're doing the DIY thing, and not doing it the complete way (which involves a RRR machine, vacuum test, etc.). There'll be two hoses going to the compressor - one is larger than the other. Follow the large one back until you find a schrader valve - it'll usually be capped with a black plastic cap. Take the cap off. Crank your vehicle, and set the AC to the Max AC setting. Connect your can to the schrader valve (if you made a mistake and put it on the high pressure side, it won't fit properly). Discharge the can. Repeat as needed, ensuring the level doesn't go past the red line on the can.... these "gauges" on the cans aren't particularly accurate, but it's all you have to go off of.

How do you get the compressor to run on a 2001 Pathfinder with low freon?

You do not want it to run on low freon as it will burn itself up. There is a low pressue switch that tells it not to run if the freon pressure is below a certain point. To make it run; add freon.
