Ahmed,

     You would not need to install nova-compute on the controller node ,
nova-compute is just used to provide you computational power for vm's , so
on that node where you want to host your virtual machines install
nova-compute on that node.On controller there would be only
nova-api,nova-scheduler,keystone.
nova-scheduler there on the controller would decide on which compute node
will your vm gets provisioned.
Hope this answers your question.
